Alexey, why has there been no response here? ANd why did you just submit
this anyway?

I don't think this is the right way to interact with the community. Someone
expressed a real, well reasoned argument why we shouldn't take the path you
were pursuing forward, and you took it anyways without giving any
explanation. Don't do this.

If you urgently need to fix the *correctness* problem here, then fix that
in a narrow way. Unilaterally removing this issue doesn't seem justifiable
as an urgent quick-fix.

I hope that you reply soon with an explanation, and preferably restoring at
least the prior behavior that others were relying on.
