Correct. That's why I didn't propose to restore the old behavior.

I'd say it is no longer possible to store None values in the index, but
it's a different question if the attempt to index them is silently
ignored or if an error is raised.

AFAICS migrating existing code and persistent objects is much easier and
in most cases unnecessary if None values are silently ignored.
