I think yes since breaking some configuration will be seen as
regression. I know that consensus is to consider backward links a
non-compliance but AFAIK no OS reject it. Situation "my OS sees
partitions and grub doesn't" creates problems for users and is seen as
a bug.
If you have any arguments feel free to post them, as any sane person
I'm ready to change my opinion in face of good arguments
