I would not say anything more than "its' been released for over a year, so the feature is known not to cause problems when it is not enabled (in other words, we coded our if/else correctly)", unless some telemetry tells us that significant number of users with widely differing use patterns have enabled it and are not seeing much negative effect. And we can tell if it is stable only if we flip the default. > I'm submitting this now to allow it to cook for a while during the > next release cycle. I agree that it is about time to see if flipping of default would be a good move for users whose usage patterns are unlike VFS for Git by cooking a change like this in 'next', definitely at least a cycle but possible a bit more, and it is a good idea to have it at the beginning of the next cycle. Very much appreciated. Thanks.
