I'm getting a bit frustrated with the requests to make changes to core
to make it easier for people to write layers which "work" with all
versions of the project. That isn't something we've ever committed to
or encourage, quite the opposite.

There isn't any analysis of what other side effects this may have, or
whether it is actually the right decision for the variable going
forward, the change is entirely retrospective looking and I'm not keen
to evaluate changes that way.

Cheers,

Richard
