So I know this is an idealistic point of view, but: 1. It's documented to return `null`. The fact that it returns undefined in some edge cases is a bug. If you want to be nice about it, you can approach them and explain the upcoming behavior change as a heads up, however it's still a bug that should be fixed. 2. No sympathy for those projects here; you can't use undocumented/private interfaces and expect them to be officially supported. I do it myself, however I do it with full knowledge that every single version change is potentially breaking to me, and I make sure to have unit tests to confirm the behavior still exists in X version. I may also approach the project and say something like "Hey, I found using X undocumented interface is actually really useful, how can we expose this as an official thing?"
