The good argument is:

With this patch in upstream git, I have more time to spend on testing
topics from pu and to write new topics on top of vanilla master because I
don't need to apply my private patch all over the place (and back it out
before I submit patches).

Whether the option is compile-time or runtime is secondary. The option is
*for me*,[*] and I prefer it compile-time. *For you* nothing changes
regardless of compile-time or runtime (or do you think you would set the
option?).

[*] As I said, nobody else seems to complain.
