I think doing so is prudent. Further, I think it would help if the manner in which special rows are handled were user-configurable. Once we have that in place, then the old behaviour can be retained by choosing appropriate default values for the babel backends you mentioned. Then, finally, as a subsequent step a single default can perhaps be set to improve consistency across babel backends (along with a mention in the NEWS, appropriate version bump etc.) If the above is done, I would argue that, eventually, the default treatment where special rows are elided would be the more useful setting. -- Suhail
