Probably yes.  I have the impression that yes-or-no-p is sort of a
counterexample to what Leo mentioned in Bug#31772; that is, many (most?)
people are not very happy with it, but it's so easy to just do (fset
'yes-or-no-p #'y-or-n-p) so nobody bothers to complain about it.  But
it's a "customization" that breaks down in cases like this one.
