Comment (by bobbingwide):

 @boone, thanks for the #18897 link.

 Don't take this personally but there seems to be some strange rules
 regarding backward compatibility and breaking sites.

 If the site is broken since it was unintentionally using something which
 turned out to be a bug then that's fair game. You don't even need to tell
 the users in advance that the fix might break their sites.

 However, if there's a tiny chance that a site is broken because you
 finally remove deprecated code that had been warning the user that it has
 been deprecated for 6 or more years, then that's not allowed.

 See #33741
