It was hardly a subject of discussion, as yet.

Personally I'm pretty doubtful about suddenly starting to throw errors
for syntax we've accepted without complaint for over nine years, on
merely the grounds that we *might* get around to making it do something
different in the future. You yourself have complained loudly about
compatibility breaks that were considerably better founded than this.

Possibly a NOTICE or WARNING (with some other text than this) would be
a better choice for warning people that a compatibility break might
be coming.
