Hi,

If we ignored possible custom code breakage, this patch could be
simplified

Please consider doing so, responsibly[0], if everyone agrees that the current default is suboptimal.

Keeping ossified (and unintentional?) quirks around forever has a cost each time someone gets bitten by unintuitive behaviour. It gets less recognition than, but eventually outweighs, any immediate switching costs to out-of-tree users.

(…/me quietly eyes substitute*…)

Kind regards,

T G-R
