This makes no sense. What possible problems can arise from a correct fix?
This interface is purely about performance. A correct fix will only have the
effect of changing the performance characteristics of some programs. Leaving
this interface in the current broken state means that some programs will not
obtain the performance improvement they expect from using the interface.
