I don't think a new BIP or a version number increment is necessary.
1. "Should support" isn't the same as "must support". See
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119 ; by that reading,
implementations with protocol versions above 70,002 are not required
to support the reject message.
2. If you don't implement a BIP, as Bitcoin Core explicitly doesn't any
more for BIP61[1], you're not bound by its conditions.
