Sure, it is an incompatible change, no doubt. However, incompatible 
changes are "ok" for feature releases (not so fo bugfix releases).
So this being an incompatible change alone is not a reason to reject
the patch. Significant breakage in many applications might be, but
I don't expect that for this change (which is really tiny).
