Generally we do not guarantee backward compatibility, so while the NPE needs to be fixed (which it has), this doesn't appear to be a defect.
Backward compatibility issue will be addressed by IZ 123716. I will dup this CR to 123716 because it was reopened based on compatibility problems. The NPE has been fixed. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 123716 ***
