Comment:

 There are reports coming in via Slack that this caused issues with plugins
 that weren't prepared to correctly handle the newer, quality-controlled
 return values. After a quick chat, I'm reopening this so we can: revert
 this to stop that plugin breakage, and look into a better solution in 4.8
 or beyond.
