I know that this behavior is technically a bug, just like piston translocation was, and as such, we should not depend on or be attached to it. However, almost every single even sightly complicated piston contraption relies on it.This change would put progress in many redstone disciplines, especially slimestone and large doors, back to practically zero. I am normally all for fixing things like piston translocation, that are useful but are still technically bugs, but this behavior is just too important. It is not an exaggeration to say that redstone would be devastated by its removal.
