This patch prepares a transition to 'upstream', unlike the previous
version which was advertizing 'current'. In most case, this would be
the same, but 'upstream' is probably more sensible in case it points
to a branch other than 'current'. I don't care much either way.
I would agree with that choice (provided that we were to do this
change).
I've kept the wording from the original patch, which commits to a
future change. We may instead relax this commitment and just say "the
default is likely to change in a future version", or so.
Please no. Keep it _very_ firmly committed. Otherwise we didn't
learn a thing from 1.6.3 era.
