Maybe a good compromise to put an end to this discussion (and leaving 
almost everybody happy) would be to expose in the API all the variables 
involved in the save/export procedure, not only the close dialog, so 
anybody can create a script that brings back the old behavior without 
patching or modifying the default install.
That would avoid the need of a fork, and a plugin to revert to the old 
behavior would be around the corner.
More importantly, the default workflow proposed by the development and 
UI teams wouldn't be affected.
