Are you talking about an actual use case where "users" really will do that
because there actually really is such a use case out there (If so, please do
tell because *no one* is setting that parameter and I'd prefer to remove it
everywhere in favor of automatic detection.)

or

are you talking about a potential,
it-would-be-good-to-but-I-don't-know-yet-whether-it-would-really-get-used
thing?

If latter, that third patch can remain out-of-tree until an actual use case
materializes and justifies it.

Thx.
