sorry, I am unable to find out the commit and the link point to nothing 
for me. Is the ID the right one?

Just a remark: the fact of keeping the old / odd behaviour as default is 
a risk that the new one get lost, since few will change to adapt / 
correct to this one. (forgetting it...) Would it not be better to 
activate the new state per default - maybe with a warning / delay ? So 
where needed the code can use the old way, but the new one will be the 
default, and then all people will take much more easily care of.

But I am not the wiser in the game, just here for fun.
Regards
Pierre-André
