To be honest, I don't see an easy way out of this. I think it is more
reasonable to have the change since a lot more users are benefited by
it. And in most cases, where they are broken, those applications do
require some specialist work, and so it should be reasonable to expect
the administrator to set the variable to false at mount time.
