I find your response here interesting Warner, given that when I have
opposed what I felt were too-drastic changes in HEAD (such as removing
sysinstall before a post-install configuration solution was ready) your
response has been, "It's HEAD, we can break things ... let's see what
happens!" Now that you are the one opposed to the change, we need to
keep HEAD "close to production ready."

There is a compromise solution here that I have been hesitant to offer
because I was really hoping that sanity would prevail. But why not
switch the default MK_CVS knob over to "no" now? That will give us an
opportunity to see if there really will be any fallout, and easily fix
it if there is.
