This is incorrect. The other places that appear to have nothing to do with that change are the places where the change breaks. You should not avoid changing it. You should want to test if it is necessary to change it. For example, a patch is supplied that adds support for some new version of Bugzilla for add_comment, and the patch ignores tagging. Tagging is not tested at all. The VDD is not tested at all. It appears that more work is needed to change all those other places, but in fact those other places are not tested. If the change involves compatibility changes, they should be handled. This won't change.
