Indeed.

No, I'm just pointing out that even such an "obviously nothing but a new
feature" implies a change in old behavior. The same applies to the most
obvious "bug fixes" and to basically every single commit we ever apply.
Even adding a config var to recover the old behavior is itself a change
in old behavior.
So your rule is simply inapplicable. You seem to think it's obvious to
distinguish between a change in behavior and a bug fix or a new feature
or other categories, and while in many cases it is, there are also many
cases where it's not and *that* is the reason why we sometimes introduce
a change without a clean way to recover the old behavior: we failed to
recognize that it wasn't just a bug fix or a plain improvement.
New rules won't help.
