A flags argument can be added when it actually is needed.  Using it
to pass an argument enabled by all ULPs just gets us back to the bad

I think we need to:

 a) document the semantics
 b) sort out any technical concerns
 c) just enable the damn thing

instead of requiring some form of cargo culting.
