Bad news: Every user of clearhasmsg uses it via GET.
Good news: There are only 44 hits between 2016-09-16 08:22:29 and 2016-09-23 08:40:27. And except for a few random IP hits (none of which have any contributions or talk page messages on the relevant wikis), it looks like it's all users of Huggle. Get Huggle fixed and I think we can go ahead and just make the breaking change.
