I don't think it ever was a keyword argument. Now, there have been some
bugs fixed recently where unused keyword arguments were going through
without emitting an error, which caused confusion when kwargs were
misspelled. Perhaps this is the change that is impacting you. To be clear,
I don't think it never would have done anything in the past.

I hope this helps!
Cheers!
