I thought we already have settled on doing things the way they've been
for years, i.e. default to gung-ho=no for 21.0.
We had. A couple of new data to consider.
- the window.h:290 crash caused by the GCC 2.7.x compiler bug
goes away when --use-minimal-tagbits is used. We might avoid
some bug reports.
- stack traces are easier to deal with since the pointers are clean.
