I think by now we essentially concluded that we should do that. What I'm not sure yet is how: Do we want to rip it out in master and just change the default in the backbranches, or do we want to rip it out in all branches and leave a faux guc in place in the back branches. I vote for the latter, but would be ok with both variants.
3. Change the "default" and make the guc impotent - in the back branches. Its minimally invasive and accomplishes the same user-facing goal as "ripping it out".
Leaving dead code around in master seems undesirable so ripping it out from there would still make sense. This does provide an easy fall-back in the back-branches if we are accused of being overly parental.
