This changes the entire picture; I'm fine with doing all of the changes
for 4.1. All the same, doing that in 4.0 would be a big unexpected
headache for people who already configured their php.ini files, which would

When you upgrade a major version, you go through the upgrade notes,
something which is very common to skip with minor updates.
