In any case, it's simple to get the 2.3 behaviour back - just add nonzero. I think that could validly be considered a bugfix.
Alas not -- it would still be a functionality change relative to 2.4 and 2.4.1.
Also, an object whose len() returns 0 but whose nonzero() returns True would be an anomaly.
The best we can do IMO is to change it back in 2.5.
