You're going to have to give me some better reference as to why
this is required (now?), and yet nobody has noticed or reported
any problems with them in the last 10 years ...

If it's a local issue on your machine, as the evidence would
seem to suggest, then I'm not sure that changing it for everyone
who hasn't had problems is the correct thing to do here.
