That strikes me as rather more risky. We can propogate it through the drivers as we are sure it is safe to do so on that platform and encourage driver authors to migrate. Better than a "big bang" and the inevitable fallout. We do want it user selectable, because we want people to leave it off unless they have a need for it - that then becomes a path towards eventually getting rid of them static identifiers for good.
