If you have more pressure not to not change anything, I think this will have negative consequences. Bad ideas must be removed, and removed as soon as possible, if the language is to thrive.
You cannot delete things from a standard library, that makes it non-standard. You need to add stuff, then have a looooong deprecation period before removing the old stuff.
It is actually easier to change the language than to change the semantics of a standard library.
