I also thought about it more and I think if people have objections or
this really regresses for people, an alternative is to still try the
old method but fallback to this one if any steps fail.
OTOH, it'll make the code more complicated and IMHO the old one isn't
particularly "better" just "different" so I wasn't in a hurry to
implement that.

Please do let me know if there's any report related to this and it
shouldn't be **that** hard to add the new path only as a fallback.
