If that precedent is not an anomaly it looks like XS modules that do not create PP functions that are broken by the branch have a defect already and the branch is a good way to find bugs. (Seems like a win to me) Sereal::Encoder/Decoder do support custom opcode stuff but afaik they did not break. Not sure why yet. Is it expected that some such code would still be fine?
