Yes, and pretty close to not-even-security-fix; I'm well aware of that, and 
that's why I wrote:

I didn't think this was a valid bug. I was trying to make the point that, in 
general, 

* when intorducing a call in the development branch,
* which, if used mistakenly on a maintenance branch, would "work",
* that is, not do the new functionality, but not raise an exception,
* then it is worthwhile to put a warning in the maintenance branch.

Sorry if I wasn't clear,

        Shai.
