Sure, making this new tbl handling optional (or adding an option allowing
to restore the previous behavior), would make this change a lot less
disruptive (allowing any project to adopt it or not at their own pace).
Not making it the default for now, and announcing that the default will
change in the future, would IMHO nicely address the “loudly announce
[future] disruptive change” request.
