Correct. I will fix it today.

I understand. Though, almost any serious change breaks some existing
configuration. It is unfortunate, but I hope it will not prevent us from
correcting past, and future, mistakes. Without that right to be wrong,
we'd better plan Org development a very long time ahead and cross
fingers hoping we will never fail. Don't cross too hard.

I'm not convinced by that documentation thing, i.e. "we allow you to
change the string, but we remind you that you shouldn't do it". It even
goes against my initial suggestion, so I cannot say I "want" anything in
that area.

Unless, that is, you're talking about a deprecation warning, e.g. "In
future releases, this variable will not be customizable anymore, so be
careful when changing its default value". But, IIUC, that's not what you
want.
