It's a problem because we try to give API and ABI stability guarantees for the
published URE interface.  3rd-party (extension) developers rely on that
interface not changing in ways that would require them to rewrite or even
rebuild their code in order to keep it working with newer versions of LO.

If you wanted to start a discussion, it would probably have been better to
start it on some channel like the libreoff...@lists.freedesktop.org mailing
list.
