Not for the 1.1.x series, as it would break the ABI.
Should be OK for forks or other variants.

That's a pity.
I seldom use Fl_Scroll. Rather, I have my own drawing area with
scrollbars, so I can control how the size, position and scaling relate
to the scrollbar's value, which means this limitation doesn't apply.

That said, I've gone off scrolling as a way of accessing large
collections of things anyway these days...
