Sure, I agree. I don't think it should stay that way forever, but
removing the burden of dealing with this issue from the initial commit
would likely allow that commit to happen this release cycle, perhaps
even in the next CommitFest. And then we'd have half a loaf, which is
better than none, and we could deal with the issues of switching it on
and off as a further enhancement.
