In theory, yes. In practice, if somebody starts using 7.0.0 and
immediately jumps to using \int, I don't feel too bad for breaking that
code. We can put a note in release notes for this is needed. But the
risk of changing syntax parts on the brink of GA IMHO is much larger
than the risk of somebody using \int in 7.0.0 and getting breakage in
7.0.1. Especially if it's clearly described as a bug we intend to fix.
