Comment:

 HI @rilwis,

 I think it would be good to get a `2nd-opinion` here as I am not sure the
 best way forward with this. I think potentially educating plugin
 developers within the docs to make sure they don't do this makes a lot of
 sense. I would also like to put in the patch mentioned, but feel this
 could end up breaking a lot of plugins without warning, and without
 properly informing the community that plugins will need to be updated to
 work with this new code could have major repercussions.

 However I have marked this ticket with the `2nd-opinion` tag to see if we
 can get any more feedback on this. 😃
