bootstrap 4, cursor doesn't change when hovering over a button but does on anchors

Question

I'm using bootstrap 4 alpha, and it seems that the cursor on buttons has been removed for buttons but not anchor tags. example on the bootstrap site.

https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/components/buttons/

In my application i have a form, with two buttons, one is to post to the form and the other is to redirec to another page. The input doesn't display the cursor but the anchor does. I know i can create a custom css class, but is there a reason why this has been removed or is it an issue with the current alpha version?

<input type="submit" value="Sign In" class="btn btn-primary" />
<a role="button" href="@Url.Action("Register", "Account")" class="btn btn-secondary">Register Now</a>

Here's your explanation - https://medium.com/simple-human/buttons-shouldnt-have-a-hand-cursor-b11e99ca374b

I'm not sure Bootstrap v4 adds that on anchor elements either (can't check at the moment), but what I do know for sure is that browsers add the cursor by default whenever a link has the href attribute.

LE - The stable release was launched a week ago and it now features

.btn:not(:disabled):not(.disabled) {
    cursor: pointer;
}
