Maybe try explaining why you need to break `all-completions' and

probably won't jump in at all.
We've discussed it in this thread already. Do you always ask for
special, personal explanations?
Why can't you build your shiny new feature outside the existing
completion framework, if it doesn't suit your purpose? Why do
you (think you) need to break it?
It's a set of interconnected new features. When you want to introduce a
new feature, it doesn't make sense to always create an entirely new
system. For one thing, many existing users (of the previous system) will
be disappointed that they got left behind.
And the new system will be inferior in terms of the audience (users and
backends that plug into it).
So use whatever alternative you (think you) need, but outside the
current framework - instead of just breaking that framework to fit
what you want to do.
You're implying there's a good alternative.
If you dislike change so much, why don't you stop upgrading Emacs?
So what? There are lots of ways to use the minibuffer. And you
can add to them if they aren't enough for you. You should not
need to break existing ways of using it just to add your own way.
That wouldn't make it lose in capability. Some existing code would just
need to be updated.
