I looked at that, and decided I didn't have enough information to know
whether that's a good idea to apply or not for all the different variants
we have out there.  It's something that needs to be merged early in the
cycle to give it enough time to be (hopefully) tested by people.

A lot of these "enable optimisation X" patches need to go through that
treatment.
