People rely on undocumented features and sometimes on bugs. Thus, we cannot refactor or otherwise clean up internals. Here, you did change internals.

If a buildbot is red for a week because of me and another developer commits something that creates another test failure, they won’t see that a buildbot has turned red because it already was. It’s just a temporary edition to avoid polluting the buildbots output.
