It's a great feature, please keep it on.

We've seen some votes in favor of it already too. If it annoys the
majority of users, we'll see a lot more of dissenting voices.

And Emacs trunk is a good place to experiment with new features, which
won't necesarily make it into release.

Nobody really has to use it for a few years to decide if they like it or
not. And there's no need for a years-long discussion about it either,
it's not that big a feature.
