Tough. We've done that before to force people to fix their code.

I'm actually upset that EVEN NOW (and it's been, what, 18 months),
people ask for the old broken shit behavior back.

It's ten years since we introduced the marker, and it's been over a
year since I made that pretty much a requirement, and people still
want to do the broken crap.

I'm not AT ALL feeling sorry for people. Fix your shit, or see ugly
output. Those are the two choices.
