A syntax change here is probably roughly comparable to changing the semantics of `accept` or similar in glibc. It would generate a ton of what feels like make-work, completely aside from whether or not it is a good idea. This is very similar to GUI revamps. Users always hate them, even if they're super well-executed. People just don't like change, and asking them not to grumble works about as well as asking them not to breathe.
