It doesn't look like there will be another Emacs 28.x release.
And, given the change to the code, I don't think this is appropriate
for Emacs 29.1, either. It's too late for such changes on the release
branch.

If it's a bad regression, why didn't we hear about it until now?
Emacs 28.1 was released more than a year ago, and was in pretest for
several months before that. My guess would be that this accidental
"feature" is not used frequently enough to be a bad regression.
And I don't object to extending Dired in this way, I just don't think
we should do that in Emacs 29. There are enough real bad problems and
regressions that block its release, and I'm not thrilled adding
another non-trivial change so late. Sorry.
