Yes but -
- depending on undocumented behavior is a mistake,
- breaking the dependency would manifest (in the case I imagine) as a
performance regression (and if there are some users, the future can
allow them configuring periodic kernel flush to compensate for that).

Or do you suggest these effects should be documented (that would require
deeper analysis of the actual effect)?


Thanks,
Michal
