Given that we are talking about lazy/overworked on top of lazy/overworked here, why any confidence that this will be done 100% of the time?

Putting time bombs in your code, regardless of a global configuration switch, is just asking for trouble.

I agree with you; my point was that while skrebbel spoke as if the point had never even been considered, it had in fact been considered.

I have to admit to a certain amount of pet-peeve-like sensitivity to people commenting in ways that make it look like they only read the title.

I am guilty of this more often than I care to admit. Ooops.
You're correct, I'm going to change it to be disabled by default.
