It's a big difference whether you (a) add some feature that will enhance
usability of meshes and don't reduce the usability of others, or (b) introduce
a lighting model that cannot be used unless your scene is meshes only.

There's no problem adding a UV-map to some mesh in any existing scene.

There *would* be a problem adding a better but meshes-only lighting model to an
existing scene.
