I do not feel strongly about this, but it is looking like it would be
better to either revert to the old behavior in the next release, or
make it a preference. I find it better to use a preference, that way
everybody can have their preferred behavior. The same way that in a
static compiled language there is the option to tell the compiler to
add traceback information and runtime checks.
