When decorating a function, the sequence of lines reported to the trace function is different in Python3.8 than with previous versions

$ cat -n decorator.py
     1	def decorator(f):
     2	    return f
     3
     4	def f():
     5	    @decorator
     6	    @decorator
     7	    @decorator
     8	    def func():
     9	        pass
    10
    11	import sys
    12	def trace(frame, event, args):
    13	    print(frame.f_lineno, event)
    14	    return trace
    15
    16	sys.settrace(trace)
    17	f()

Is this intentional? Will it be changed back before 3.8 ships?

People are testing their projects against 3.8-dev, and reporting problems with coverage.  The problems are due to these sorts of changes.
