Comment:

 Hi,

 I do fear that a change like this would break sites and do more harm than
 good.
 All existing sites that do not use a prefix would effectively break with
 such a change.

 For those who are making changes in the config file, I've not experienced
 any who have accidentally changed their DB prefix line (and I've walked
 quite a few people through there).
