Richard S. Hall commented on FELIX-5573:
----------------------------------------
Rightly or wrongly, we explicitly chose to return null in this case because we
were under the assumption that this situation would only occur for internal
framework operation (i.e., we didn't expect null to be returned to end user
code). We explicitly check for null being returned and know we can ignore that
case when we detect a cycle. So, if we just start throwing a CNFE, then we
might have some difficulty ignoring it or knowing when to ignore it in the
framework.
