what you describe it IS dropping features, and modifying the f-cpu 
definition.

the big issue with F-CPU is that we must do the right thing at the first 
time,
or not at all, otherwise people will stick to the wrong version etc.
In the end, the time lost in making things right is probably the same as
the time lost in guiding people back to the "right way".
