That's a bit of over simplification: - Lots of code still having the 'module' statement (LuaRocks, coxpcall, copas, to new very commonly used ones). Easy to fix as it is a compile time error if I'm not mistaken - unpack <-> table.unpack seen this quite a few times, tricky one as it only fails at runtime. So for edge cases it won't be easily spotted. Otoh probably still in the compat area.
