Looks like this was an intended change: http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=2b03e945a19701194e510791a96006c5eee9edc6Related discussion: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2016-10/msg00080.htmlPS: The commit message includes gmane.org links which are now dead. I think we should reference lists.gnu.org links (like above) for longevity of references.
