Yes.

Focus on moving forward instead of looking backwards. Keeping user
space compatibilty is of course a good idea, but I see no reason why
V4L needs to be special compared to the rest of the kernel.

I don't have the full picture though and I'm not the one who spend
energy and time on keeping backwards compatibility. If the cost is
small enough then it may of course be worth it. But my gut feeling is
that there is no point in being special with these things, just do
like the rest of the kernel subsystems and you will be fine.
