Yes, I think it should be explicitly opt-in, not silently opt-out for the time
being.

I'm glad you are getting traction with the various format groups on the topic,
but that process is going to take a very long time to matriculate, and in many
cases official blessing won't ever be pronounced. Let's make the behavior for
applying the transformations *and* writing the metadata an explicit opt-in.
