Subtitles and bar chart stack order are huge because the existing way of doing them is hard to maintain with a consistent behavior. (the former requires wrapping the title using an expression function, the latter was broken in 2.0.0 when the order parameter was removed, and setting the order in the factor directly did not work consistently)

Honestly, I'd be fine with stacked bar charts being completely removed as a feature. I have a hard time imagining a situation when they are the best plot to use.

Stacked bar charts are the best way to represent percentage proportions without using an pie chart. (Incidentially, pie charts in ggplot2 are stacked bar charts transformed with polar coordinates)
