you don't ask for it - but people turn on on irc, email etc. and ask for
support anyway. they ask us to debug crashes that are a result of 3rd party
modules. that's the reality. :( it's not going to change in upstream. you are
able to patch the src if you want - it's open source, but upstream will not
remove this red flag. it's specifically intended to BE a red flag.

indeed. that's the whole point. after release is ready - we can disable it, but
until then - the red flag is there for QA reasons.
