The question is that when a cosmetic change also results in a functional change (and we wouldn't be suggesting MMN bumps if it wasn't), that it becomes a change that should be proposed as a backport and not willy-nilly added. We have a process, and should discourage attempts to bypass it on a stable trunk. FWIW, I'd be +1 with the bump.
