Yeah, as I mentioned on JIRA there may be backwards compatibility concerns.
But from what I saw in the related [THRIFT-3336
comment](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3336?focusedCommentId=14904949&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14904949)
my sense was devs don't want to add more options/annotations, which makes
sense to me since ultimately it does have a maintenance cost.
