I cannot imagine it being a good idea to stick a behavioral change
like this into a minor release.  Yeah, it lets people get out from
under this problem a lot sooner, but it potentially breaks backup
scripts even for people who were not suffering in the first place.  I
don't think solving this problem for the people who have it is worth
inflicting that kind of breakage on everybody.
