Only accidentally. It would not have been correct (not even in 2.x). You can't have a clear dependency if you don't specify what the underlying data you're dependent on is, and having it guess creates a time bomb that will break if you change the dependency to return more than it was before.

Yes, because of the runtime exception. Those are always bugs unless the condition were out of memory or something like that. Constraint violations are just there to provide error messages for tracking down null pointer errors.
