Whether one's for them, or against them, removing a check
from a function that would formerly return an error and
making it crash is a substantial API change.  We must
avoid API changes whenever we can.  We can introduce
new functions and gradually deprecate the old over
a number (at least 3 IMHO) major release cycles, but
what we MUST NOT do is just change the API of an
existing function.
