It wasn't decided. There was a bug with the user preference where the
label
on the preference was incorrect. In order to fix this,
the option was
disabled.
That's a de facto decision isn't it? Somebody figured flipping that switch
without discussing it with the wikis first was a good idea. The question
still stands: if they didn't expect this fall out, why not, and if they
did, why keep quiet?
