Even without this patch, any developer who *wants* to use the Forms API and submit hooks can. This patch *forces* us, even when it's not appropriate to the data model (as mentioned in a previous post).
in 4.7 programmatic nodes cannot be validated properly. for 4.8/5.0, thats now fixed. with 4.9/5.1, we will likely improve the data model as you are suggesting. please participate in adrians fapi 3 discussion starting in brussels. this is a long road, and some things smell along the way. i agree that some use cases are less convenient in 4.8/5.0. but at least those can be worked around with a little learning. ideas for simplifying fapi and making it learn easier are always welcome.
