That would break compatibility on much, much, much larger scale than changes in regexp engine suggested few weeks ago. The only full solution to that problem would be total transition: Start now discussion about future changes, suggested implementations, features, etc. Announce Vim 8 as transition period and start porting existing scripts to new goals without making real changes to engine. Break compatibility with Vim 9. Such transition would take 3-4 years and it is reasonable that all interested parties would port scripts. But I am not sure if it is worth it.
