It may be "valid" in principle, but it is no a wise choice for changes
in the Emacs command interface. If we want to be confident that users
will notice plans for changes, and say if they object, before the
change is in a release, we are obliged to help users notice.

That's not difficult. People who want to make the new behavior the default
will be motivated to conduct the inquiry.
