I'm okay with removing this for 8.4, but I think it's too late to
change the behavior of 8.3.

It's never too late to fix a bug.

When the proposed fix involves breaking cases that used to behave
usefully, you need a much stronger argument than that.


What I have proposed for 8.3 should not break a single case that currently behaves usefully. If anyone has a counter-example please show it.

What I have proposed for 8.4 possibly would break current "useful" behaviour (FSVO "useful"), but should be done anyway on correctness grounds.


cheers
