This issue was discussed recently on e-p, just a month ago [1]. With
absolutely *no* conclusion. I don't see any approval for the patch
either.

To sum up the entire thread:

  Can we please get a decision by the UI team
  on #243241 first?  Do we want this?


Why are patches sent to e-p, if the replies and discussion is going to
be ignored anyway?
