I am sitting on a stash of such patches which are borderline bug fixes but been out there long enough that people might care.
I leaned towards making it the default because, - I am assuming not many people use static entries - and people will not be very unhappy with this change....because it does not delete something they had...just retains them. - Per device flag seems like an overkill here Also, i think some such changes were done to the bridge driver too after it was out.
