I can only agree.
By the way, why should the byte-compiler have any backward compatibility
whatsoever ?  It's not like I ever need to generate Emacs-20 byte-code
with my Emacs-21 byte-compiler.  Worse yet, there might be other
dependencies then the byte-codes themselves: some macros have changed
and the output code might rely on Emacs-21 features (f.ex. CL
macros no longer bother to do (defvar :foo ':foo) so the resulting
code might not work on Emacs-19).
