Considering that the library users have already been warned that the library
is somewhat unstable, I think it is a smart move to go ahead and switch the
library to using witnesses.
On the other hand, I don't think that 2.5 is the time to switch executables
over to witness builds just yet. I think most of us would hate for some
unexpected side-effect of witnesses builds affect day-to-day usage of a 2.5
executable. Not that I think there would be any, but letting library users
and HEAD users test such a big change first sounds to me preferable to a
"surprise witnesses attack". At the very least a comparable witness build and
non-witness build should be benchmarked.
I agree with this. (And btw I don't think flipping both switches at the
same time makes life any easier.)
