Yes, but I think the first step to understanding it is to have a
Tiny example in the tracker.  If you have a Tiny example (ideally
without tweaks) that looks good in 2.12 and looks...
"different"... in 2.13, then we can discuss whether that
"different" is better or worse.

Maybe the solution will be code.  Maybe the solution will be
better documentation.  Maybe the solution will merely be adding
one sentence to the Changes document saying "yeah, it's changed;
deal with it".


I'm not pre-judging which option is the best, nor which one we'll
take -- but any of those cases should begin from a Tiny example in
the bug tracker.

(and if you cannot produce a lyric example which is "different"
without using tweaks, then that itself is an interesting data
point, and which could serve to narrow the focus of the
discussion)
