We try to keep the VCL stable in minor versions, so that a VCL that
works with N.m, also works for any N.m+1, N.m+2, ...

That allows us to add features, but not to remove them.

When we do massive changes, we will change the major version,
and the change you just spotted, is part of the 3.x set of changes.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
