Thank you for letting me know.

That's a possibility, but I don't want to commit at this point. We can
have a look at it when you submit it and decide. However, in general,
introducing churn for the sake of a feature that will be off by default
isn't something that I would want to do. The more compartmentalized you
make it, the better your chances are.
