Hi Danny,

Can you push this to 'core-updates' instead?

It will cause a rebuild of more than 2000 packages on 'python-tests' and
invalidate almost all substitutes, and I would like to merge it sooner
rather than later.

Otherwise LGTM. I checked some other distros and they seem to have this
enabled. Thanks!
