Relax, it was a joke. :) Still, we're gonna get blowback if we don't
include this change--that was my point.
Flipping the default is a good idea, but because the commits were
reverted, there is no longer a setting to adjust; one of those commits
added it.

I feel very strongly that this needs to go into 21.08. If it does not,
then we're shipping a controversial behavior change to users in 21.08
with no way to go back to the previous behavior.
May I CC you all on the bug reports we're bound to receive? :p
Such threatening does not serve anything, even more when before seemingly
knowingly ignoring rules like feature freeze and string freeze. Rules are for
everyone, there are no developers more equal than others in our code farm
hopefully.
Instead I proppse to set the default config flag to match the old behaviour.
If that is not possible, it has to be hard-coded then.
There is always a next feazzre release a few months later thanks to release
service. Rushing things in last minute and breaking the rules harms the rules
and quality of the products. Let#s leave that to bad companies.
