Seems like a pragmatic decision where the breakyness of the change is mitigated by the module versioning thing. Old code gets the old behavior, code written in newly created or updated modules gets the new behavior. Everybody is happy, compared to the alternative where this ships in a mythical go v2 which nobody uses while this sort of bug keeps sneaking people's actual work.

Thanks, must have missed the module versioning bit
