I don't know. A lot of the decisions I've made maintaining Maypole have taken
into consideration whether or not this would screw over existing Maypole
users. A change like this would, so I wouldn't do it.

I suspect that I'd like to see behaviour-changing "fixes", like this one,
mentioned on maypole@ first to make sure users are aware that their
applications will break the next time they install Maypole. That sort of thing
tends to put users off a technology, if they're not expecting it.

Sebastian (the new Maypole maintainer) (hooray!) may view the world
differently, and I may after all be worrying about nothing, so I'll defer to
him from now on.
