I'm not sure why you're bringing in binary compatibility. Someone on 1.4 
(yes, or 1.3.1, very good) who wants to migrate to 1.7 for source 
feature X will be displeased to discover they can only get as far as 
-source 1.6 because Remi cut an infinite number of raw types out of 1.7.

FUD. You don't NEED to change the layout. There is a particular scenario 
involving simultaneous compilation of multiple source modules that 
cannot reasonably be achieved without a new layout. But it's off-topic.
