What the hell is wrong with you guys? I used to think it's accepted
practice to introduce a config option you can change away from the
default if you already know you are using new software that doesn't need
it, and if you are clueless just don't fucking touch the default until I
decide it's time to flip the default/remove the option because distros
are shipping new versions of the dependent software.
