Options 2) and 3) would ideally entail one backwards incompatible

Maybe a compromise could be made to accept both in the
backport? That would avoid breaking old code while allowing
code that does the right thing to work.
This *almost* sounds like a feature addition.
This could definitely be done. But backporting is beginning to look unlikely,
since we currently have three +1 for "too complex to backport".
I'm not strongly in favor of backporting myself. The main reason for me
would be to prevent having additional 2->3 or 3->2 porting obstacles.
