I don't, either, but if we were to do so, keeping the warning/advice being discussed is crucial to avoid breakage. Hopefully by now most existing users who would have depended on unconfigured default behaviour of merging have explicitly shown their preference by setting the configuration to squelch the message, so it might not be such a huge backward compatibility nightmare. I dunno.
