We could just go through everything and explicitly inherit from  
Class::Accessor and throw out NEXT and explicitly use Class::C3, but  
that still means that people installing 5.80 will break all their  
apps (at a minimum they'll have to bump all their plugins etc - there  
is a distinct possibility that user code is also relying on this).

Therefore I think that's a baad solution, and anything common like  
this should be fixed in core (at least to a level where back compat  
works, even if we want to emit warnings asking the user to fix their  
code).
