Unlike something that would affect end-users, I think it is OK to
break backward compatibility one-way. If you suddenly forbid spaces
and force our developers to use comma and nothing else, in muscle
memory of their fingers and/or in their scripts, in a version merged
to 'master', as long as their new habit and updated scripts use
comma consistently, they work fine on 'maint', right?
If there is no such "works on both sides of the flag day" choice, it
is a different story, of course, but comma should work fine for us
in this case.
Thanks.
