Yes, well, perhaps Stefan will chime in with the reason(s) for it.
But to my mind the simple action "Conflate Qnil and Qunbound for
`symbol-function'" sounds like it is about doing something to
`symbol-function' rather than doing something to `fboundp'.
It is the behavior (hence meaning) of `fboundp' that changes
if you set it as an alias for `symbol-function'. The latter's
behavior does not change.
