I think the consensus was that the bridge maintainers would decide if it
should be changed, this according to Oltean. I still think that
is_dyn is more secure codewise in the long run and it is logical as that
is what the feature the flag concerns.

When you say consistent with other flags, I don't understand the
inconsistency. Could you please explain.
