This is such a bizarre workaround to be listed in the changelog since mixing in non-mixin templates is not an official feature (am I wrong?).
Yes. Originally one could not use the "mixin" keyword in front of a template. There was no difference between mixin templates and non-mixin templates, on the declaration site. Later the language was changed to allow to put "mixin" in front of a template. That restricted all mixin templates to only be used as mixin templates. It's still possible to mixin non-mixin templates, most likely to avoid breaking existing code.
