We do that, because we may not have any other choice, e.g. when calling =
a great-parents method. To then use LSB, we have to explicitly name our =
parent.
This is now not possible anymore, and hence I=E2=80=99d consider this as =
a BC break at least, if not a bug.

This definitely is not simply *not a bug*.
