All things being equal, it would be nicer to have consistency, but do we really I want to break almost all existing code?
I know you've proposed a tool to do the transition, but there are lots of unmaintained projects out there that are still used, and tutorials/articles/books/university courses written using the existing syntax. Those likely won't be, or can't be changed easily.
One possible compromise might be to leave the old syntax there for legacy reasons, but allow (and encourage) @pure, @nothrow, etc.
