I'm under the impression that we could change the default at this point, but I'm not sure what that would require in terms of the release cycle. I've cc'd Chandler, as he's been driving the project-level QoI requirements for this, and Hans for the obvious reason ;)

As for the release cycle, I'd still be willing to take a merge for
this, but not for much longer. I'm planning to cut RC2 this week (late
Wednesday, or Thursday) and after that it's bug fixes only. The
question of merging is still very hypothetical though, as there hasn't
been any change on trunk that I'm aware of.
