Even if it worked, it'd be worse because it means getting rid of
(eval-after-load 'feature ...), which is something I use exclusively. I
avoid strings as much as I can because they lead to ugly entries like
"\\(\\`\\|/\\)sendmail\\(\\.elc\\|\\.el\\)?\\(\\.gz\\)?\\'" in
after-load-alist.

The incompatible change is likely to break users' configuration. Is
there any benefit introducing this change? Does it outweigh the
inconvenience?
