I am not supporter of "our" concept for standard API. Having 
ours only restricted free() will make harder to write portable code 
because people tends relay on what works for them and not on standards.
But in the light of upcoming new standard version which require the same, 
it is acceptable at least.

BTW, the change backed out, PR for free() filled instead.
