One very important factor for breaking BC in PHP is also the gain if
you are changing something so centric as the basic output constructs.
I don't see changing echo/print to include a new line would ever pass
due to this, however I could see (and possibly vote yes) to a new
construct that did the exact same with a new line afterwards.

These however are matters which should, by our process, be discussed
through RFCs that weights pros/cons and the overall impact and demand.
Like Johannes said; there haven't been a high enough demand for anyone
to have voiced their opinion strongly, or at least not the 11 years I
have been contributing myself or the two years I was an internals
reader before that, that I can remember.

I suggest the OP to start such a process, which can be done by
registering a user on our wiki and following the instructions for
write access to the RFC namespace.
