I think this could even be as simple as, "a new DIP will be 
created defining a plan for timing and requirements to make this 
default"

I think many are hung up on the fact that this DIP is only 
specifying a preview switch and not the actual change to the 
language.

Rightly so, DIPs are about the end game. We don't have a good 
plan for making these larger breaking changes. I did try to start 
such a discussion because I saw these coming.

Other replies please us a separate thread to discuss release 
planning. Let's help to define the DIP improvement so Walter can 
move forward.
