| There are those of us who consider the protocol switch a good change,
| and a move forward. It seems excessive to wait for the switch to
| 5.0-RELEASE for this change, and somewhere between any two
| 4.X releases seems just about right.

Surely this is an exageration. It is surely that true that "zero-tolerance"
"PONA" principle would overdo it, but surely you'd agree that surprises
should be avoided unless there's a good reason for them?
That said, changing *back* in stable is a truly extreme POLA violation.
Argue about whether this was a terribly good idea, but it's done. Move on.
