That's fine, provided there are really well defined semantic rules for what the options do, these options need designing by people who are experts in floating-point semantics.
Anyway, if the only reason is the performance, then the bug shouldn't have been marked as INVALID (the SUSPENDED status is for such kind of problems -- and SUSPENDED doesn't mean that the bug is resolved).
As you well know, not everyone agrees this is a bug, and this does not have to do with performance. Saying over and over again that you think it is a bug does not make it so.
