So, I voted no then as it is clear that you do not see a problem to
break codes without a single warning or time to adapt before.

The other sections are fine and voted yes.

I would still strongly recommend to take a less harsh way. Having to
change code for such things from 7.0 to 7.1 sounds bad to me, this is
the kind of behaviors one won't expect to change without a previous
warning.
