Here's the thing about "backwards compatibility"... That's only true
if
the behavior is documented and/or tested as such or if the behavior is just
"inherently reasonable".
As you even seem agree, the previous behavior is not inherently reasonable;
its at best questionable. So then can you point me to some documentation
or regression tests that assert evict should accept nulls?

Ok. I will move this discussion to the users group.
I understand that it sounds reasonable to have a null check but the
important point is that it has broken backwards compatibility. Any thoughts
on that?
