While that should work, that change would *also* change the signature. 
Though in a safer way, yes.

Are you worried about some out-of-tree clients that started using the 
new feature in the meantime?

Otherwise, this change could be split into two steps:

- Rollback that signature to pre-commit 125b5684c (i.e. revert its part 
in buff-menu.el). This is something we usually considered to be safe.

- Add new change that allows BUFFER-LIST to be a function.
