Haskell has now reached the point where backwards compatibility is something that must be taken very seriously.
Would you be opposed to a Haskell 2 which would break lots of things?
I would! No new language standard should break lots of things! It could break some things and should provide easy rewrite rules for code (or better yet a tool like Python's 2to3) to move from standard A to standard B for most of the things that break.
