Comment (by carljm):
@direx Thanks for reporting the issue, and following up with your
observations about what behaviors were documented! I'm glad we're agreed
on the best path forward.
FWIW I didn't take the "too easy" comment personally on an individual
level, but rather on the project level, which includes everyone commenting
here. As a project, the initial response here was to disavow any
responsibility at all for this change on a backwards-compatibility front,
and I do indeed (in retrospect) think that was a bit "making it too easy,"
purely in a what-do-we-need-to-do-now-about-this-issue-as-a-project sense.
Fortunately I don't think the documentation-based resolution is "making it
too hard" either :-) I certainly didn't see the comment as a criticism of
the (large amount of excellent) work that went into the initial multiple-
template-engines change; unintentional minor regressions happen, even with
much smaller feature additions than that one.
@direx, I'm curious if you could point me to the third-party app(s) making
use of this behavior? I doubt it will change my mind on what we should do,
but I am curious to see how they found it useful.
