I can't tell (haven't looked) at what behavior the patch in question 
would cause, but I can note that the standard *REQUIRES* deallocation 
for non-saved local allocatables. (Ones in modules are different). This 
is an area where it is not at the compiler's option. Thus making 
allocatables saved when not so declared is another way to break 
standard-conforming, working codes; they need to be one of the 
exceptions to such a switch.
