I don't see the "[x{:}] = foo(...)" and graphics changes as backwardly
incompatible changes that require users to change code so they don't
seem as urgent to me.

The DEFVAR changes will be the most painful, since they will require
users to change things like

  automatic_replot = false;

to

  automatic_replot (false);

But I think there is a good reason to make this change, because it
will simplify the interpreter by not having to do special things for
built-in variables.
