There is.  We are now in Stage 3, which means "the only
(non-documentation) changes that may be made are changes that fix
bugs. New functionality may not be introduced during this period."

Your rewrite might be acceptable, as it fixes a bug.  HOWEVER, please
do not do anything risky at this time.  Proceed with caution.

Andrew.
