I don't think that your suggestion is an incompatible change:
Here's a possible idea: enable delete-selection-mode by default
but only after shift-selection and mouse-selection.
Users who are used to the traditional Emacs behaviour get no surprises
as long as they continue to set the mark in the traditional way. Users
who are used to other programs' behaviour get the behaviour they are
used to, as long as they use the keys they are used to.
