 Ah, I see. Seems we share pretty much the same opinion, thanks for
 clearing this!

 > marking `wontfix` instead of addressing that in a followup-ticket just
 to prevent devs from possibly doing stupid things feels harsh

 Yea, you're right this feels harsh. However decisions like this would make
 everybody's life easier in the future as WP strives to maintain maximum
 backwards compatibility. By "everybody" I mean WP contributors,
 committers, and users.

 Frankly I wish there were more "harsh" decisions like that in the past.
 Would have prevented many security vulnerabilities and made it easier to
 maintain certain features and components (for example shortcodes).
