It was on the TODO list, and I did exactly what was listed there.  What
we have now is a discussion that the TODO item was wrong.

I also have very few votes to just put it back to how it was in 7.1.  We
have votes for throwing a NOTICE that this syntax is going away, and
votes to remove it completely in 7.2.  We also have few votes to merely
reverse the meaning of the numbers.
