there were some substantial concerns about backwards compatibility

:( yes this is currently backward incompatible (so the next release will bump major version). There's reluctance to add yet another decode_* kwarg to open_dataset, and also reluctance to issue a warning saying that the behaviour of decode_coords will change in a future version (since this would be very common).

One option is to change decode_coords from bool to Union[bool, str] and allow decode_coords to be either "all" (this PR) or "coordinates", or True ( == "coordinates", backwards compatible). I can bring this up at the next dev meeting.
