It would probably help others if you could brain dump a bit as to the
benefit of the status-quo compared to both the 9.6 behavior and the all-in

Honestly, the reference to the camel sticking their nose in a tent was
supposed to be taken humorously, the serious explanation that it meant to
convey was already very well presented by Robert. The only reason I added
the wiki link was to give those who would have no clue about the metaphor a
chance at understanding it.
I actually took your response as: "why the f**k is he talking about
camels?" and started laughing...
