Your call.  To me, the need for dynamically toggling it is simply
unimaginable, and "11" sounds very small, and the added code needed to
support it (docstring, code to force a reparse, etc...).

I'd be very happy to have it for 24.2 (and to set it to OFF in Emacs's
.dir-locals.el).

I don't have an opinion on the default after 24.1 (tho bug reports
during the 24.2 pretest may change that, of course ;-).
