Yes, back to what it was pre-releng/12.2. The functionality you like was new at that point. It broke some of my things which had been running for years, and relied on the original behaviour. As it was possible to affect others in similar ways, it was decided to revert it as a POLA violation. If you make "-D down" the default (as you suggested in a previous message), then we would be back to having the problem. I said I personally didn't mind if the original functionality was added back in a different way, but Piotr graciously decided it would be best to revert to the original behavior, and instead enable his new enhancements with a new option.
