Comment:

 Well, flipping that preference has been an experiment. And I am not
 convinced yet that the usability impact was worth it. Thus, I wonder if we
 should just abandon this "fix" idea and try to look again in a new ticket
 at dealing with the original linkability concern? Maybe ESR60 makes it
 easier now to isolate those range requests properly? What do you think?
