This is exactly the issue we are battling here. One side wants to be
consistent with inconsistencies (and tbh quite confusing) while the other
side wants to allow userland implemented APIs to actually be consistent.

I am not judging any of these sides but we are heading to a status quo
here, for no good reason. We all know that this is a feature desired by a
very large of our users. Let not block it.
