Ok, I'll try to stay out of the discussion of which solution is best of our users, and if the outcome is that mixed operations in general are bad but mixed comparisons are good, I'll trust you. However I want to reiterate that you really shouldn't improve the situation for 2.7 unless you also forward-port the solution to 3.x.

I agree. Improving 2.7 and not 3.2+ would give people a reason to not move to 3.x.
