Oh, OK, now I've read the code and bug#57870.
Richard added the variable in 2019, but it never worked? And Sean has
now fixed the problem in Emacs 29, so that it actually does something.
So I don't think this warrants releasing a new Emacs 28.3 -- I doubt
anybody has used this, and it's never worked, so it's not a regression.
