I tagged the bug because the bug report says the problem
is a regression -- although I see now that Gleb agrees
with you that this is a feature request.

Support asked us to reintroduce the original behaviour,
since the "regression" is affecting a customer. While
I don't advocate adding a new feature to 5.0 (or 5.1)
at this point, I do think we should solve the problem
the client is experiencing, if at all possible.

Can the specific problem described in the client issue
be solved fairly easily? See:
