I still think that in long term this initial bump transition is better than to the complexity from mixed support.
Yes, that is what NetBSD did in release 6.0 (2012). OpenBSD release 5.5 (2014) followed suit. Admittedly these are smaller ecosystems, but the transitions went reasonably well as I recall. With my application-developer hat on, I prefer this simpler approach to the sort of complexity we went through with off_t in the 1990s, a mess that we're still having to deal with.
