I don't think this shouldn't be changed, but surely it's not one that can be made without thought or concern either. Changing the behavior overnight will undoubtedly break servers and scripts.

It will only break servers and scripts that currently operate under a false sense of security. The maintainer should file a CVE, push the fixed version and let the distros sort out the rest. And he should do it ASAP.
