Please share (off-list) some points on that. I'm all ears.

Uhh.. so a new feature suddenly covers the majority of the useful
usecases? For those you care about, maybe yes, but please don't ignore
the rest.

Anyhow, please share the use cases you're seeing. Maybe it should be
enabled, yes, but we can't enable it just because it looks nice and
adds extra functionality, that may or may not be used. The enablement
doesn't end with turning this option on and more work is likely
needed. For instance, we have 0 test coverage for this feature now.
