I agree, this change has the biggest 'risk'. Still, I would like to bring this up for discussion, as there is a huge benefit (much higher than I thought).
I have already considered discussing this on the mailing list, but I would like to know first whether this change might be out of question, as we would not need to discuss it in that case.
