Hopefully I'll get a chance to test it with some of our 2.5 sites - I have a
small worry that old code on small sites that we don't have much worry about
will break if this is put into a 2.5.2 or later release.  Could there be a
way to disable this "feature" in 2.5 via a z2/environment variable or some
other configuration setting, but have it be automatic in 2.6?  "Potential
code breakage" and "point point release" leave me a little worried about
maintaining 2.5 sites.

It may not be an issue - I have to digest the changes in more depth that
I've had (or currently have) time for, but that's the thought that crossed
my mind earlier.
