Yes, I missed a "had" after "has".  2.1 still has it somewhere deep inside
the code I didn't manage to root out for Debian, for example.

That said, just moving off 0,1,2 is not difficult.  But it would not help at
all with bug #2422 (it is a problem with statically allocated fds, not with
them being 0, 1 and 2).

The ideal fix would be to have them be dynamic.
