I see no document updates, commit messages, or deprecation warnings
that would:

* Explain what and why this is happening - this should at the very
  least be in the commit message(s), if not a doc somewhere. IRC or
  pevious ML threads are not sufficient.
* Warn users they need to update their code to not use stream side data (?).
  Will my code just silently change behavior if it was using stream
  side data? I legitimately do not know due to the above.
* Any useful doxy for API users or any example aside from function args and
  very basic struct info.

I make no comment on the usefulness or utility of the change, but it is these
sorts of things that make downstream API users experiences a little worse.
