Where is such preference documented?

None of them "should" as in "break ABI" or "change something later". I
don't understand why again we keep discussing such trivialities which
are neither documented nor have ever been expressed as desired by any
maintainers. This reminds me how much wasted cycles we spend on
discussions on reworking all camss bindings so they will have some sort
by address. Entire discussion was ignoring my clear feedback and the
only, only one rule we communicated, just dragging it more and more.
