For the record, it's not that it's disabled by default but rather to enable it, you need to enable other "new" frameworks and so forth. And at least for "legacy" platforms, there's a certain level of pushback against doing the work required to enable that (as to be honest, it is more than just enable a few CONFIG options and re-test). A counter-pushback of "but it enables things that fix some bad performance problems!" would be really helpful. -- Tom
