It is an incompatible change that has the potential of breaking existing makefiles. Whether your customers may have asked for that change or not does still not make it a charter for an incompatible change. As an alternative solution, you could have told your users to order the pattern rules from the most specific to the less specific one, or you could have introduced a method that does not break existing behavior. The original behavior is in SunPro Make since 40 years, in smake since 25 years and even in gmake it has been for 24 years, before you changed gmake, so this is a well established interface. You would need to revert it, at least in case that .POSIX is present.
