>Directly or indirectly many (or most) projects ended up depending on something which was using an unsupported backdoor API because it provided a marginally useful capability. The module system restricted access to these APIs and everything stopped working, unless you added some magic command line arguments to gain access again.

Is it even theoretically possible for a project like this to not run into these kind of issues? Like literally the project's goal is to enable library authors to be more explicit about their public API. So breaking use cases that use unsupported backdoor APIs very much seems like a predictable and expected result?
