You're arguing for a feature which might potentially become ubiquitous.
I don't think anyone minds it being built-in and even without a config
option when that happens. Just until that happens, it should have
been default n like all the other features we come up with and then
enable everywhere after sufficient amount of time of testing and
reporting/fixing bugs. Then even the config item gets removed. We do it
this way all the time.
