That's a de facto decision isn't it? Somebody

Well the thing is it wasn't turned off because they wanted to turn it off.
It was turned off because the message was incorrect, and the development
required to fix it would have taken a significant amount of time. It does
sort of count as a de facto decision, but I don't imagine community fallout
would have been taken into account since it was an engineering decision and
not a product decision.
