If a vote is required now, I vote no. This change sounds as though it
could be for the better, but it seems to me more of a question of
elegance than a practical matter, and it's not clear that it's worth
breaking backward compatibility in this area.

For the record, I agree with Will's position on this. That doesn't
actually change my vote, unless this change can be done with the module
system.
