I kinda hope this stays, as it's pretty useful.

Really not sure why you would change this, as it has indeed been in the game since the elytra was introduced. Even if it was indeed a bug when 1.9 was released, the fact that it has been this way and you haven't fixed it for almost four years means that it's more or less become a feature. I know I use this frequently to allow flying downwards in 1-block columns rather than slowly climbing all the way down. It doesn't seem to break anything or allow any other problematic behaviors, so it seems far better to keep it as it has been.

Pretty sure this is working as intended as it's been in the game since they introduced elytra. It's a feature, not a bug.
