Eventually, yes. I'd keep it for a couple of reasons:
* benchmarks, if the accuracy is not desired, and this might indeed be a
case for making it configurable to the users, although not sure
if any real world user would want fast but often inaccurate answers we
have today...
* something is horribly wrong with the new code, and nobody notices before
2.5.0
Using a system variable leaves us with a escape route without putting the
choice in user face. If we do add a configuration instead,
we're pretty much locked with it for the long term.
Not sure which is better.
Anyways, let's hear other opinions? Adding a config option to the GUI is
quick anyways, not a big deal, more worried that we're
going to have to live with it long term.
Cheers
