Hi Pavel,

I disagree with this: given there's been testing with no known issues, it's 
not a back compat question.

I'd actually prefer to see the code ripped out and no config option available; 
it would the clearest avoidance case possible.

I really don't want us to have to do this more than once :(
Rusty.
