I'm not sure if I understand the distinction between MMC and SD here. Do you suggest we always enable it for SD but make it compile-time selected for MMC? I generally argue against compile time options. A distribution integrator needs to choose a reasonable default, and giving them an option makes it possible to get it wrong. I believe the best way would be trying to warn people against regressions while going forward with this enabled unconditionally, unless we hear back from people that actually got regressions. We could perhaps key enabling the feature by the production date on the card, so it only gets turned on for new cards.
