I like the idea of changing the default.
Do you know what the risks would be? I looked at the code, and
there isn't something obvious/delicate, it seems. Perhaps we might
find ourselves forgetting to re-insert breakpoints, or inserting
them twice? I think you guys have more experience than we do?
In terms of when, perhaps a good time to switch would be either
now (about 3 weeks away from planned 7.3 branching), or in 3 weeks
from now, right after branching.
