No one forces anything. You can perfectly set the default namespace to

Yes. One can live with the XE2+ renaming at the cost of renaming units,
potentially fixing breakage later, and a lot of adaptation of existing
configuration, scripts etc.
But I repeat: what is the hurry?
I am not hurrying anything.
Where did you see me saying anything about timeframes ?
The necessary default namespace support is not even there.
I'm discussing principles, not timeframes.
And the issue of compatibility: It is a bogus discussion, you know this as well
as I do.
If Delphi itself is not compatible between versions, then we cannot do so either, and
must choose a version to which we are compatible (2 versions if you accept/count the 1-byte RTL).
Whether that turns out to be D2009 or DXE1/2/3/4/5: I honestly couldn't care
less.
