R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

Yes, for backward compatibility reasons it is better to make the change that 
fixes the thing that doesn't work and leave the rest alone.  Probably the 
change wouldn't break *much* existing user code, but why break anything when 
there doesn't seem to be any particular advantage to doing so?
