(This might be a storm in a teacup. We could hold off 1.0 until we arrive at a syntax that isn't vulnerable to future breaking changes.)
8 proposes a change to regexp syntax. The change is non-trivial to implement, since the current implementation simply defers to re2. Consequently, it's not likely we'll tackle it anytime soon.
Think of a way to allow for future syntax improvements without having to introduce backwards incompatible changes to the language.
One option is to revert to /.../ syntax for re2 and reserve /{...} syntax for a new and improved syntax.
