 While I'm really excited about canonical redirects, and they're much more
 conservative and reliable than previous iterations, there are still going
 to be people who have issues.  Anyone whose REQUEST_URI isn't set
 correctly by their PHP setup (or fixed by WordPress) is going to have
 issues.  It's likely to be a small minority, but for the minority
 affected, it's a rather catastrophic failure that may cause their site to
 be unavailable.

 As of right now, you need a plugin to disable canonical redirects.  I'm
 loathe to introduce options, but this might be a good case for one.

 I know it's late to be introducing this, but it will likely make the
 release go more smoothly.
