So.... what exactly do you want to happen?

The two formats look easy enough to distinguish.  Since the change
occurred in 22, it's been widely released, so obviously 3rd-party code
simply has to be prepared to deal with it (if they care about 21 and
older versions), and there's little point in changing it back now.
