I'm ok with doing it *after* we've had a release in which people are
just warned.  We don't want to go out gratuitously breaking
everybody's previously-working C++ code.  Warn first, give them time
to adjust their programs, and only then disable the feature by
default.  Then, they can't blame us when the next major release goes
out and breaks their programs, because they'll have been warned.
