It seems to me that it already is conditional. Keith just made
multipath-tools default to using NVMe devices. If you don't want it to,
you can add them back to the blacklist.
blacklist {
devnode "^nvme[0-9]"
}
Just like you could turn it on before by overriding the blacklist
(except that it wouldn't work without the device handler fix and the
rest of Keith's code to setup NVMe devices correctly, which I trust is
unobjectionable).
