No, of course not.

It would be painful to have to put back the '--enable-fast-restart and 
--enable-bitmap-later' code if you removed them, probably dangerous. My plea 
is to keep them in as an alternative to the demand-attach file-server: with 
mandatory salvaging the non-demand-attach case is seriously impaired, hence 
disabling it is no real alternative.

With the ambitious schedule for new releases I see this happening very 
quickly. I'd like to avoid having to stop at a particular release next year 
because of a functionality that we manage to live without, and miss others 
that we're interested in.
