It might not remain the standard but I also don't think it makes sense
to plan for the future too much here as it is a relatively simple
thing to change in the future if/when that happens.
Yes we can consider the possibility but I don't think it really
changes anything for what we do right now given how minimal it really
is in terms of change.
