I don't think so. I think it's just a weirdly-design parameter
without a really compelling use case. Enforcing limits on the value
of the parameter doesn't fix that. Most of the reviewers who have
opined so far have been somewhere between cautious and negative about
the value of that parameter, so I think we should just not add it. At
least for now.
