So, you're saying you don't like the new behavior.
I'm sorry about that, but the decision was taken with reasons well explained in bug 1098468 and I don't see good enough reasons about why the new behavior is bad.
The name of the option by itself is not a good reason.

Marking as wontfix cause it's working as designed and there's no valuable gain provided for which we should revert the change.
