 Yeah, sorry I wasn't present. I'm having some health issues and am
 currently off (or trying to be..).

 Hmm, the reasons to remove this bugfix right before RC are:
 - "May have had a better commit message.."
 - A question what is the expected behaviour.
 - A question "If something is off by default, don't we have to question
 ourselves why it's still part of core?" (There are quite a few
 options/checkboxes that are off by default so this is rather a rhetorical
 question).

 None of these look like a good, valid reason to revert something... :)


 I also don't consider [comment:16 comment 16] to be a reason for reverting
 a bugfix (it's a technicality). If you really really want, we can open
 another ticket and repurpose this one, although this will be more
 confusing.
