Comment:

 I wouldn't change behavior like this in a micro.  Is it the function or
 the view or both that is bothering you?  The thinking was that for people
 who don't constrain their geometry columns in some way (and for views
 based on tables that only have constraints), coord dimension of 2 is the
 most likely assumption.  I think that still holds true.

 However I'd be willing to change if we test enough third-party tools to
 confirm it does more good than harm.  I still don't think this is an
 appropriate change for a micro -- so pushing this to 2.2
