Sure, things works differently if this is set. That I understood.

What I haven't heard is a rationale as to why this configuration option
shuold be in the DT.

Can I enable this on all implementations, or not?

When would I enable this and when would I not?

The property reads like a switch to turn a feature on, rather than the
description of the presence of a feature.

Mark.
