I'm not going to fight too hard for it (I'll let Michael champion it
if he really cares), but I think this is a legitimate -stable patch:
it fixes a panic that real users are seeing.

You were using an interface in an unintended way.

Do you know %100 for certain that moving that callback to
a different location won't break anything?
