Breaking change to DOM/CSS from #poststuff to .poststuff

Description

The element used to wrap admin page HTML has changed in WP 5.4 from <div id="poststuff"> to <div class="poststuff">.

This change will cause major issues for plugins and themes that include css/js relying on that well-established wrapping element to exist.

Q1. Is it be possible to revert this change from class back to id?
Q2. If the change must go ahead, can we retain backwards compatibility by also adding in the additional id attribute?

Thanks,
Elliot
