My guess is that someone may need to write some new tests,
or at least verify that no new tests are needed.

Since it is only changing a default, there should already be tests for all 
the consequences, but there may be tests no onehas so far thought to do ?

That might boil down to "handling possible testsuite failures",
but someone needs to understand the issue well enough to know
that all the thigs that need testing are tested for.
