I think this is too big a change in the default behaviour for a stable release, it'll cause a lot of people pain for no readily apparent reason. I also believe that if those sites with multiple MPI jobs on nodes are indeed in the majority then it makes more sense to keep the default behaviour and have those who need this functionality enable it on their installs.
