I would imagine everybody would strongly mind as the scripts they
have already written and have been using for years will be broken by
such a change. So changing how %d works is a non-starter.
But that does not mean we cannot add a different placeholder that
behaves that way. I wonder if it is the cleanest to extend the
%(decoreate:<option>,...) notation, perhaps like
$ git log --format="%(decorate:optional=yes)"
with and without --decorate/--no-decorate may be a way forward?
