I agree.  I also think it isn't enough to check only here and in ELPA:
'apply' is a very popular function, and is used very widely.  I won't
be surprised if there were more of these usage cases that would be
broken by such a change in the signature.

Can we instead identify the problematic usage and signal an error?
