If we consider it a security issue worth CVE, then security concerns
generally beat stability concerns. We'll obviously need to document
the change in default behaviour in release notes though, and maybe
provide a documented way to disable the change for stable releases (I
suspect we already have a way to disable specific quotas, but we
should make sure it's the case and we provide operators commands ready
to be executed to achieve this).
