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. -- Joel
