Yes, internally.  This PR has been out for quite a while, too.

The priority here is not to break the existing applications that might have coded a workaround.  We offer a new set of (better named) APIs withe the right behavior, while deprecating (not for removal) the existing ones.

Adding a system property seems a worse choice since it will break the apps and force the change.
