My guess is that it wouldn't be too difficult to write a patch that could
be safely back-patched and it's worth doing so even if ultimately the
decision is not to. But then again the patch writer isn't going to be me.

Given how simple the manual workaround is not having it be manual seems
like it would be safe and straight-forward to implement.
