 @azozz:
 The change ''was'' controversial at the time. Many people worked out work-
 arounds almost as soon as the feature was released[1][2][3]. It was
 discussed ad nauseum and the core devs pressed ahead with the (broken)
 implementation. So don't go acting as though those who have come late to
 the discussion are somehow invalid or would need access to a Delorean in
 order for their opinions to count.

 The point is, the core behavior in this instance is backwards and has been
 annoying since the day it was introduced. It's never too late to address a
 historical mistake.
