   > This would be a straightforward solution for sure! But it would be an API 
change, and we can't put the genie back in the bottle: your change is already 
out and folks could be already using it with the expectation that it updates 
the job without the need for a flag. However, I think that's a pretty small 
contingent of folks, and we could consider this behaviour a bug, honestly, so 
fixing it in this way should probably not trigger back compat. I'd be 
interested to hear what others think.
   
   Yes. API change is sometimes necessary to fix bugs. We are not (and should 
not be) extremely strict with "any api change is backwards incompatible" - if 
for example the interface is unusable or it behaves in  unpredictable or 
illogical ways, it's fine to introduce such changes as bugfixes.
