All in all I think we should change this before it's too late; it will affect a very small number of apps (perhaps none?), but I would rather have the right semantics in the future. Also, it's trivial to write code that doesn't care (in fact code running under 2.x and 3.x probably will have to be written so that it doesn't care) so it's not like changing this is going to make life harder for people wanting multiple-version support.

Ok, it sounds reasonable to me :) Now somebody just has to write a patch (it shouldn't be too difficult, since the position restoring code exists in the 2.x file object).

Regards

Antoine.
