My initial reaction to that was: add an option, and keep the old behavior then. But on second thought: No script has any business scanning the output of git-remote. That command is a pure convenience wrapper, and scripts trying to list remote branches should use git show-ref instead. So I'd say: replace the last comment with Since "git remote" is porcelain, we can easily make this backwards-incompatible change.
