Ok can you just revert Jiri's code then instead?

This is after all mainly an emergency fixup patch for that disaster,
which got fast tracked without any of these considerations
which now suddenly appear. Requiring new documentation for old
for old existing code as part of emergency patches definitely seems to
be unwarranted scope creep.

I suspect what they mainly want is a single global switch to turn it all off...
which we sadly lack.
