not at all. in order to attempt to justify my posistion/opinoin explaining

i meant no harm and had no major fundamental reason in mind when i originally
made the switch to new_with_mnemonic being the default behavior and had anyone
raised an objection back then i could of been swayed. but with 1.0rc's
