The first example that comes to mind?  In 2.0, 1.x executables that
depended on executing out of the stack broke.  On purpose.

Or, at least, non-executable stack was on purpose; it's possible that
the failure to provide backward compatability was a result of someone
not thinking of something rather than conscious choice.  Certainly
nobody seemed too concerned about the lack of compatability when I
tracked it down, though.
