I have no strong opinion on this. One thought is that it could be
nice if someone else could test this functionality with current
release before enabling it by default in 17.08.

Tomorrow I'm going on vacation. So I'll post rebased version today
(there are few fuzzes with current master) and you with Sergio may
decide what to do.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
