If they're not "important" now, why would they become "important" in
the future?

This wasn't a temporary thing.  It was sitting back and taking a look at
how things were classified to see if that was reasonable.  My conclusion
was that it was not reasonable and thus was changed.

Being able to release hamm was what caused me to sit back and take another
look at it.  They weren't changed just "to be able to release hamm".

I read the changelog file.  If the gains outweigh the risks (in my
opinion), then I put it in.
