What we can do according to our policy is saying in our documentation
and announcements: in two releases time we'll break this backwards
compatibility thing (whether that's new-style classes or marks).  Then
two releases later bump the major version and do it.  It slows breakage
a little bit down and I thought that was the reason for the current
deprecation policy.  Yes it is more annoying as we basically have to
leave a pull-request or branch lying around for all that time and deal
with the merging breakage resulting from this.

Having said that, I'm happy to re-evaluate the policy if enough people
think this is a bad idea.  But I'd like some user feedback as well
before changing it.
