I think we just discussed this a day ago? It is the same problem -
while we all agree the values should follow the RFC, users have had
the option to set any values forever (even non-RFC compliant ones).
This change risks breaking user-space.

Users are free to follow the RFC or not, we can't force them at this
point. This should've been done when the config option was added long
time ago.

Thanks,
 Nik
