Seems reasonable to me.

I would say not; it's a sufficiently large change that it will doubtless
break a few people's applications. It's better to do such things at
major version revs. People don't expect to have to do application
compatibility testing on bug-fix updates. Also, the base bug (lack of
dimension info from array_out) has existed long enough that I don't
think there is great urgency about getting the fix into the field...
