I'm not sure how changing behavior like this in a minor release was
considered acceptable.
I'm guessing that the fact that it changes behavior in cases like this
wasn't recognized, but I suppose Peter will have to be the one to
comment on that.
It was considered to be a bug fix; more, given the few complaints about
the clearly-broken old behavior, we thought it was a fix that would affect
few people, and them positively.
Yeah, but these things usually go the other way. "This has been broken
for 10 years but nobody noticed, so we're not going to fix this" is the
answer I'm more used to seeing. And frankly, even though I remember
getting the wrong end of that hose a few times, I prefer that to
breaking apps in minor releases.
