They just need to start deprecating and removing old features. They had no issues with XSLT removal even when some major sites like the library of congress used it. So the excuse of backward compatability has already proven to be a lie.

That's not going to happen.

They can't break millions of websites by removing old features. Besides, for the most part, current developers can ignore most of the old stuff.

But a site made in 1997 has to render on current browsers.
