Plasma 5.8 has a regression in a hardly used feature (shading). Plasma 
5.9 has a regression in a hardly used feature (virtual maximize, then 
quick tile). I'm not going to add a config option for another hardly 
used feature.

The hardly used features and the amount of config options we have are 
the cause for shaky quality. We don't have the resources to properly 
maintain the amount of config options.

Introducing a config options means the possible number of option 
combinations doubles. We have already more than 50 different options in 
KWin core, plus all the effects with all their options. We cannot just 
add new options without properly thinking it through.

Given that I requested usabililty feedback on the change in question and 
made it a requirement that we switch to one or the other behavior. But 
not both.
