Frankly, avoiding to break existing code for clients using a _prerelease_ library should not be overly considered (if considered at all).
I mostly agree. However, the change in question was a purely *cosmetical* one (IMHO the client code wouldn't be improved much) and it would also introduce other problems. So, even without considering existing client code I'm not convinced it would have been a good idea. But this isn't relevant anymore as we're now discussing a change that does not break existing code.
