Of course not. That move would be _only_ to break and irritate users who are content with the behaviour they have chosen to use.

What is your justification?

I wouldn't be defending such a change in the flamewar after a release of such a version, so you'd better start preparing one for your forked git project if you plan to release one with such a misfeature ;-).
