The reason I did not deploy that change on sight it is that it goes against bug 48666 which asked to hide the preference:

Since I was not willing to enter an revert war in both Gerrit and Bugzilla, I thought the best would be to talk about it among the eng community.
Completely understandable, but I should note that the reason that bug was filed and merged had nothing to do with whether the preference should be enabled or not. It was just hidden because the messages were confusing. So rather than fixing the interface messages, they just hid the preference instead.
