Right. I didn't realized core has this check. I will drop this check in next
version.

I did consider dropping these two checks, but I was not entirely sure. So I kept
as is for now. Once these series settles and I can go with next step of dropping
these two checks.

@Alex, @Mario, Any suggestions ?
