    While I agree that this all sounds absolutely wonderful, I wonder how much pride there will be when they do an automatic upgrade that has the same effect as 2014 SP1 had on a lot of people or like the "new and improved" cardinality estimator had on our core code. 😉

    I think you're overestimating how many people had problems. Some did, and I know you did, but lots of people didn't notice it or have significant issues. They also provided trace flags to ensure backwards compatibility with the old flag.
