What were the reasons against it? If it broke significant amounts of

things, but they're extremely popular, that'd also be a good reason,
otherwise, I'm not sure it's a good enough reason.

I'd say, if you've automated those fixes that you did by hand in the
thread you linked so that they're applied whenever someone else updates
the spell, pull it into the test grimoire.
