No it depends. For this case, there are two options that DM PCI
currently provides. You created a 3rd option that bring option 1 and 2
together in a mixed way, yet without any documenting and additional
other changes. If you posted such changes in a series and have all
stuff well considered, I would not consider it a hack, but a proposed
design change.
