Fwd: Last Minute Dolphin Merge

[Nate Graham]

Relax, it was a joke. :) Still, we're gonna get blowback if we don't 
include this change--that was my point.

Flipping the default is a good idea, but because the commits were 
reverted, there is no longer a setting to adjust; one of those commits 
added it.
