Oh please, you're dramatically overstating the importance of this
change. The flag may be obscure, but its use case is also obscure,
there's no reason we should be wasting anyone's time on it when the
vast majority of users will never even need to know of its existence.
This is 100% a bikeshed issue, and there is zero reason to bring it up
at this point in the release cycle. We have enough trouble fixing
actual problems, there's no reason to actively go looking for
pointless ones.
For what it's worth, I would have +1ed it myself just to get the damn
thing off the radar except that I don't want to encourage people to
drop changes like this onto us at the last minute and then rush them
into a release so they can't be reverted, and I figured it was
incredibly likely that someone would object and require us to reroll
the RC anyway. And look, in response to one of the other emails about
this Brane already has objected. Please, just revert the change and
let us get on with this release.
