This specifically enables some scenarios in Wordpress that were broken in our previous FastCGI releases (Ruslan can provide more details if needed.) The option to do this is not all or nothing. It can be turned on and off on a variable-by-variable basis as needed. Quick note, so it is actually these wordpress examples. I have to say that it is surprising to make changes based on a codebase like wordpress. It is well known for bad practices, should we follow its lead? I'd to (strongly) suggest not follow it.
