Colin, I'm glad that you are reverting this because it was clearly a 
mistake to fundamentally change how it works in the middle of a release.

However might it be possible to improve on this reversion a bit.  Might 
it be possible for apps to output, perhaps to stderr, when it hit a case 
where it would have failed before this reversion?  Then it would be more 
obvious what needs to be fixed in regular updates later, and as we 
approach F11.
