I'm of the opinion it should just be nuked outright, and people who
want the old behaviour should add something to the effect of the
following to their ~/.gdbinit, I fear a on/off is just going to lead
to different behaviours across distros, (and still i wish the
cwd/.gdbinit wasn't hidden/too late for that.)

py
if os.getcwd() != os.environ['HOME']:
  gdb.execute("source .gdbinit")
end
