Comment (by talldanwp):

 @SergeyBiryukov This ticket was discussed during a triage session (link
 above this comment).

 The feedback was generally in agreement with your last comment that it'd
 be less than ideal if the behaviour of the function changes considerably
 for those who've implemented it.

 One thought that I had is that given the arguments are in an options
 array, it might be that `exclude_admin` can be deprecated and replaced
 with `exclude_administrator_role` which has the new behaviour proposed in
 the patch. That would ensure that anyone using the function in its
 existing capacity doesn't see any/much change.
