Comment (by Viper007Bond):

 Replying to [comment:2 dd32]:
 > To me it makes sense for is_tax to be true for any taxonomy request,
 however I'm questioning if there's a potential for back-compat breakage by
 changing this..

 Indeed. I'm not sure either, but I also can't think of what could go
 horribly wrong. Currently `is_tax()` just means `is_custom_tax()` and if
 you're testing for that alone, then you're already doing something wrong.
