The implemented behavior has been added by default and changing this
will break code.  Since I did not decide on this myself back when there
are definitely opposite sides on this issue within the group of people
affected.  In this case it is better to be conservative and not change
anything.

You will have to do much better than just saying "some people
complained".  You have to show that changing this does break anything
significantly _and_ that people cannot live without this change (despite
the existing behavior being in place for 7 years now).
