That depends a bit on how much code we find that breaks as a result. If you find you have to do a big cleanup in the stdlib after that change, it's likely that 3rd party code could have the same problem, and I'd be reluctant. I'd be okay with adding a warning in that case. OTOH if there's no cleanup to be done I'm fine with just deleting it.
A -3 warning should be added to 2.6 about this too IMO.
