Well, it's been like that for quite a long time now, probably since 
3.1.0 at least.  It's not a recent change.  Is it causing you or
potentially causing you a problem?  I know that Fortran HPC folks 
tend to complain about it from time to time as putting huge arrays
on the stack is apparently a culturally acceptable thing to do in
Fortran-world, but apart from it doesn't seem to cause many problems.
