New features are generally something that can be enabled if wanted, not something that is forced on an existing build system. For those building packages, they are quite familiar with how to generate a debug package if wanted -- I for one have no use for them and having my system suddenly start generating unwanted debug packages in an unwelcomed surprise.
Granted, they are easy enough to disable, but the recent "surprise" changes seem to fly in the face of the Arch "KISS" philosophy.
"forced on an existing build system" really? This is a simple config file and the defaults changed, nothing has been 'forced on' anyone. This is also in the backup array, so if the file has been modified at all, you would get a .pacnew. You're seriously claiming that changing config file defaults isn't KISS? Do you know what KISS even means for things like Arch?
