Yes, there's no good reason not to set the option. I don't know of any situation where leaving it off is better than turning it on. The ability to turn it off probably should be removed entirely. But that part of the driver still is very weak; we never did a proper implementation of the spec. I'm inclined not to change it until it can be made fully correct.
