I do believe this is premature.  There really should at least be an
option for the old behaviour, and there is a good argument for making
the new behaviour optional dependent on a variable with the old
behaviour default.  _Especially_ if you intend to MFC this, since
changing this behaviour in a minor release, without a way to have the
old behaviour, is almost certainly wrong.
