If I happened to believe that this issue (or one like it) might have
real negative consequences, and that those consequences could easily
be avoided (by making the API break impossible to overlook), then I
would object -- why even take a small chance? Fortunately I don't
believe that we're even taking a small chance here, all things
considered. And so I agree; this issue isn't a concern.
