I wouldn't debate it with you, but I am more than happy to discuss the
reasons.

But you understand the reasons for it, right?

Sorry - could you please point out the place where I said there are no
serious problems because of backwards compatibility?

I say we aren't going with the first proposed solution that breaks backwards
compatibility just to have a 'solution'.

No - the 'Big Review' is a community decision.  It's a free world, and
Velocity is free code.  If you want to do a 'Big Review', feel free.  You
have the code.  You can change whatever you want.  You can submit patches.
We can try the patches.  We can accept the patches.  We can reject the
patches.

*MY* feeling, and I am one guy, is that we don't need a 'Big Review', that
we are working through the issues separately.
