Unfortunately It is pretty hard to measure the regression potential for this. Applications that could be broken by this change are probably experiencing hard to reproduce bugs themselves. The fact that multiple entries are getting stored would be a bug itself, they wouldn't be depending on that behavior. However, it could break users that are already affected by that kind of bug, we just don't really have a way to measure that.
