It's now been 72 hours since we posted the vote regarding the default
setting. If we are counting PMC votes, then the vote was inconclusive.
So AFAIAC, whoever does the work can make the decision as to the
default.

:) Just be sure to make the commit before I do! :)

Agreed.

I'm happy to reintroduce a switch, but...

 - It won't be called "compatibility switch", which implies something else that 
isn't the root cause for concern here.
 - It will be classified as a "security switch".
 - It should be _off_ by default (meaning that it is the same as WW), 
considering how widely spread the usage is and how there is still serious 
discussion about even turning it off by default.

I think that is the only fair outcome. Like I said in my previous posts, I strongly 
object to turning it off by default, as I believe there is a far greater number of users 
who rely on it than who avoid it, as evidenced by these URLs, Hani's recent message, Nick 
Hill's comments, and Ian Roughley's comments, as well as the open issue with the solution 
for the cancel button depending on dynamic method invocation via the "method:" 
parameter name prefix.

Is that fair?
