No it wasn't. Robert explained the reason it was there.
Why make the change? Why make it quickly? Why avoid and ignore the CF?

I care about diagnosing problems on production systems. There will be
many more people annoyed by the inability to diagnose issues then there
will be by people who care lots about a couple of log lines, or who care
about a few people's views on inconsistency.
Is your annoyance worth more than causing newbies problems and being
unable to diagnose production systems?
How will we diagnose erratic connection problems now?
