Yeah. Our track record for predicting in the version-N docs what
changes will be made in version N+1 is spectacularly bad; we should
not try that here, even if the change is being made before 9.0 actually
goes final. There is already a statement that the default will change
"in a future release", and that seems sufficient to me.
