"Not gathering crust" is a nice an laudable goal, but so is "keep backward compatibility". I humbly suggest that the workaround code on ObjectManager be created with a deprecation warning whenever it's triggered, declaring that the backward compatibility will go away in, say, version 2.11, when it won't be uglified and slowed down anymore. You are, in essence, changing the API. IMHO this should take the same deprecation treatment as everything else.
