We have made backward-incompatible changes, on occasion.
Why don't you propose *specific things* and *one at a time*. Bonus points for
checking things like grep.cpan.me for an idea of *how much* code would break.
I also strongly suggest that you explain how the breakage adds *specific*
value. "Let's drop a rarely used feature because it is rarely used." is not
that.
