I know that, this is why I sponsored it with the warning

You are the maintainer, this isn't clearly a showstopper for me
(I sponsored the packages because I don't require this right now),
so it should only be up to you to know when and if enable it.
Enable, test, upload on experimental, whatever you think is the best
workflow. In the real world, as you said, it won't make much difference
in your packages.
so, lets postpone unless you have some additional changes to drag in :)
