--- Comment #4 from Sevan Janiyan <venture37@geeklan.co.uk> ---
(In reply to Maxim Konovalov from comment #3)

Apologies, it's in the addition to cat.1 introduced in r83482, not in the
commit message itself.

> There is a non-zero probability that people are using this particular fea=
ture in their scripts and removing it will break backward compatibility wit=
h no particular reason.

I would argue that seeing as a major branch is about it be cut, now would be
the time to evaluate such a change, it would be quite some time before it m=
ade
it into a major release and would fish out some active participants who are
users of the feature.
