Actually I don't want to complain here because it changed. I'm against but I can accept... What I find totally insane is to not leave the UI to change that. New settings is clearly not accepted by a large (majority?) part of users. Except ~5 devs, I see nobody happy with it. So the minimum required is a UI to tweak that... in *official* distribution, not some package totally unmaintained and unknown that nobody will ever install.
