I think that definitely doesn't fly for 2.2 because I think it's quite easy to end up with a ruleset that works under Changing the behavior between releases has complications too because you have to then know where your htaccess is running. Ultimately I'm just more comfortable A) not regressing anyone with a legacy ruleset lurking out in htaccess and B) making the choice explicit in the rule after consulting the doc. > Apache will automatically clean up the old string when the request is done, > right?
