There's some feedback you can only get by exposing a complicated feature
to the users and seeing what they make of it. This one hasn't even had
a full week to gather beta user reports. Given that it's easy to
disable (just limiting the range on what is effectively a 3-way switch
to two positions), I don't understand why you're pushing at this point
for its removal. You could be encouraging testing instead, which I
believe is needed to know exactly what the right thing to do in 9.1 is.
