As I understand it, any packages broken by this change are not relying on undocumented behaviour; they're relying on behaviour which is documented as being unreliable.

    Either way; broke is broke. No one is suggesting that the change shouldn't be implemented, but is it unreasonable to want to know what the supposed benefits are intended?
