Which you can still do, I guess by

(setq org-babel-default-header-args
      (cons '(:eval . "never-export")
   (assq-delete-all :noweb org-babel-default-header-args)))

instead of the old way

(setq org-export-babel-evaluate nil)

I'm not saying this is good or right. IMO the old behavior of
org-export-babel-evaluate made sense and was useful; the new behavior
is surprising and I have a hard time seeing how it is useful. One can
argue (as Chuck has) that the new behavior is fine sense we have
another way of achieving the desired results; that may be, but I have
yet to see an explanation of why the new behavior is desirable.

It this change is not going to be reversed than the doc string for
org-export-babel-evaluate needs to be updated, and something should go
in the NEWS file warning people (like me) who have been relying on the
old behavior.

Best,
Ista
