Standard anti-bloat response:
   
   Do you have any evidence that enough ports need this that it makes
   sense to impose this on the ports which do not need it?


i don't have any evidence of the sort and i am not tied to having
everything switch.  i had believed that was the desired direction
from previous discussions on here, however.  the original patch
posted is sufficient for "want it, ask for it" if that is what
people would prefer.
