Comment (by joshlevinson):

 I think it's reasonable to fix it at the API level if it we're concerned
 about a BC break. However, I don't see how anyone would be relying on the
 current behavior (since it doesn't really *do* anything, it's just
 ignored).

 I'm pretty green in terms of the rules around BC breaks. I assume you'd
 agree with me that we can't avoid BC break 100% of the time. Would you say
 the rule of thumb is along the lines of "developers are likely to rely on
 X" in deciding to forgo making a BC breaking change?
