I never think about it anymore because I am used to the behavior. I can see where and entity like skype who has I am sure thousands of procedures would have this as a constant irritant. Do I think it should be pushed back to 8.3.x; no. It is a feature. I don't consider the existing behavior a bug. I consider it a limitation and we don't back patch fixes for limitations.
