    Then that could be solved by displaying a message the first time GNOME is launched, not by disabling it. This will just break workflows for quite a lot of people.

      It will break their workflow for a few seconds before they change the setting back. Or they could read the changes before installing a major update and change it before even doing anything.

      Maybe in the future it will be added to the initial setup guide along with stuff like choosing if you want mouse acceleration, but I really dont think its that big a deal.

        “read the changes before installing a major update”

        As if people have the time to read the changelogs for every single package all the time… 🙄

        This is pretty important on a server to avoid disruptions and outages, but people have other things to do.

        And once it is no longer on and has become a setting, they can just remove the setting and force people to drop gsettings and then remove it completely.

        They could also instead ask people on first launch. Some people enable telemetry, so they will find out how many people prefer to keep it, which I bet will be most.
