The reason was largely political and the politics have changed now. And the option is already turned off by default, and it's documented as "not recommended". We should either kill it dead (though I suspect we can't without impacting people) or turn it on so it gets tested without having to run extra robie/jenkins builds. Hopefully after 9.13 it'll be a hook module and not part of stock named anymore anyway.
