I understand your point, but breaking binary compatibility is not a 
simple matter - for instance, BBB wants to be an implementation of 
JSR-295, and as such it must binary compatible with it. In any case, 
retrocompatibility was one of the key points of BBB since when it was 
introduced and I don't think it should be changed now. At least, we 
should make a deeper investigation about the impacts of the move.
