Please consider doing so, responsibly[0], if everyone agrees that 
the current default is suboptimal.

Keeping ossified (and unintentional?) quirks around forever has a 
cost each time someone gets bitten by unintuitive behaviour.  It 
gets less recognition than, but eventually outweighs, any 
immediate switching costs to out-of-tree users.

(…/me quietly eyes substitute*…)

Kind regards,
