Well, i'm not qualified to answer that question.

From a user point of view i don't care much about modern or old code as long it is working code. From a fidonet member point of view i would like to see support for as many as possible hard- and software platforms. On the other hand old code running on old hard- and software will continue to work on old systems like they do now.

If your question is if it's possible to break with backwards compatibilty then my qualified answer is: Yes, it's possible because of the content in the gold_usr.txt:

I would rather release the source code and let
interested users carry it onwards at their own pace. So after careful
examination of the variety of open source compliant licenses out
there, I chose GPL and LGPL.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

So thanks to Odinn and open source you are on your own. :-)

Feel free to start your own fork - maybe "golded++"? ;-)  Let the legacy code experts decide which code could be merged to the legacy builds.
