Done in that branch.

This is, by the way, an interesting case for the API stability promise
discussed a little while ago.  If we really strictly meant to keep
external API stability, then we shouldn't remove this parameter even
though it does nothing: it's just possible there's external code which
does pass decode=False and will be broken.

So I'm not sure.  Maybe there is some room for discretion or maybe
even small changes like this should go through a deprecation phase in
the future.
