You may be right longer term but shorter term I still believe there may be stability issues with
this patch some of which we haven't figured out. Although we did testing and found crash bugs I
wouldn't trust our level of testing to deem it stable. If we go down the route of always on we
could have a hidden ini file (not listed in php.ini-dist and phpinfo()) which we can advise to turn
off if something goes wrong and once we can enough confidence that there aren't any lurking
bugs we could remove it.
