The logic is entirely reasonable, but in practice I think stopgap fixes

y
fixes to 5.8.2 --- there may not be. (This may be the sort of thinking
Bart had in mind.)
We've never required an incompatible change to bump the major number before
(there's often been one anyway), but given there's no single determiner it'=
