Which language constructs could be done as a library if we accept some breaking changes?

I just don't understand the premise of a "D3".
We don't need "D3" to have breaking changes, we now have a
**better** system with -preview/-revert.
Considering D2 approximately halved the userbase, talks about
"D3" should really be talks about new -preview flags. The idea
that a magical breaking change fixes the langage without a nice
upgrade path is magical thinking, because it would be strictly
**worse** than what we have today.
