Comment 13 for bug 1969643

Hi Ed and Chengen,

Ed, thanks for your review and feedback.

This also aligns with Dan's feedback (internal):

> there are significant changes in behavior that are not protected by an opt-in flag.
> In fact, there is no opt-out mechanism either.

So, probably the next steps would be to modify the patch to include an opt-in flag,
and make the behavior change disabled by default.

Chengen, is this something you could look at?

The quantity and structure of the code changes in this patch might make this more
difficult and require higher-touch, but hopefully it should be possible -- and if
you would like any assistance, please let me know.

You can find a more trivial example at [1].

Thanks!
Mauricio
