Because we have hundreds of thousands of distinct clients representing just
about every type of device that is capable of sending an HTTP request, and we
have few servers in comparison. We cannot simply break all of those clients
with a shrug.

I totally get changing the default behavior, and I agree with it. But I don't
get why it's so important to not allow it to be configurable going forward.
