How would that lead to build-time behaviour change, though?

Users in managed environments like $CORP can rely on /etc/gitconfig
or equivalents managed by their corp-eng, so I am having a hard time
imagining why we need anything more than an configuration variable
looked at runtime.

I guess you could kind of have both: make it a runtime configuration
key, but have its default depend on a build configuration. You could for
example auto-enable it in case `WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES` is enabled. But I
myself am not sure whether the latter would really be all that important
in the first place.

Me neither ;-)
