You're just supporting my argument even more. If all the dists ship it and turn it on, then logically we should include it and have it on by default. But you know we can't do that. Therefore, it's detrimental for the dists to ship it too because it does break things. I know you want to shove this in, via some avenue, but it is really so undesirable to cope with existing behavior?
