The API is tittle-tattle, the point is that you cannot run it at compile time anymore (e.g. accidentally introduced a opaque new dependency by accident?

Yes, the API allowed one thing, now it does not. That's no different from changing an optional parameter to mandatory or any other thing which breaks the API.
