First, my apologies that I have so far not found the time to test your
improved list implementation. I think this is a far-reaching change,
which is why it needs careful testing before we apply it.
I really hope to get to this soon.
Have you had any testing feedback from anyone else so far?
Have you tested it in all the export backends?

I don't think anyone sets this to nil. But there is a use case for
this, if someone wants some strange specific numbering,
then it might be useful to allow turning it off. There is no harm
in having this possibility.

To me as well.

While this sounds reasonable - it also unnecessary to me.
Why fix something that works?
