<div>Just a question for my understanding. </div>
<div>What's the argument against a special prefix in function-name for those functions.</div>
<div>If the argument is that we then can implement the "real" function in a micro-release, I don't think it is a good argument.</div>
<div>Exchanging the hacked version with the real will cause a changed behavior of the function and is probably not what users expect from a micro-release, from the policy not to change functionality in micro-releases.</div>
