Because I am easily swayed (or maybe just a liar), I've gone ahead and
enabled it by default [1]. I've also informed Nicolas Petton of the
change. I guess Björn was too busy or annoyed by my pestering to keep
up, which is understandable.

Thanks, everyone, for your help with this (especially Akib, who I pray
will consider contributing to ERC in the future). And please remember to
complain if you encounter any related ugliness. In the meantime, I am
closing this bug.
