I think that's fair. Given that you're not doing microversions and
you aren't inclined to commit to CD, it's a pragmatic solution to
mis-functionality that was introduced between code releases.

It also sounds like an edge case where it's very unlikely that
there's extant client code that is relying on that 403 to make
decisions on next steps.

The interop guideline is intentionally very strict and detailed, to
make it clear how much you need to think about to really do it well,
but in many cases should be considered as a tool for evaluating the
extent of the damage a change might cause, not the law.

Especially if you haven't got microversions available.
