I agree that v1 is the less bad one between the two.

To be honest, if the original code were done in that way (i.e. the
state with v1 applied), I probably would have had a very hard time
to justify accepting a patch to "make it safer by always checking at
runtime" (i.e. a reverse of v1 patch).

So, let's go with v1.  Thanks, all.
