Comment:

 I'd like to recommend this ticket gets attention and a decision prior to
 the release of WP 5.6/PHP 8.0.

 PHP 8.0 introduces [https://wiki.php.net/rfc/named_params named arguments]
 in function calls. This means that as soon as PHP 8.0 is out, EVERY rename
 of a function parameter is by definition a backward-compatibility break.

 And knowing the allergy within the WP community against BC-breaks, that
 means that this ticket either needs to be addressed now or not at all.
