All it takes is one stack overflow comment or blog post recommending the flag and then we're back where we started. I'm really worried about well-intentioned ("running more checks means higher-quality code, so let's run ALL the checks") people enabling this option and having a bad experience.

Can you explain what the benefit of this flag is? How do you envision it being used?
