It's not really worth debating. It would've been nice if they had been able to figure out a better solution to the problem, but I using a meta tag isn't that big of a deal. It would be a pain on sites that aren't dynamic, but all of mine just pull in one header file, so its a pretty easy task to add their special meta tag in.<br>

But I can still put a meta tag into the page head (or set once<br>
server-side) to get things to render how I want? So this is the exact<br>
same issue as last year except that if a site does absolutely nothing,<br>
users have a chance to influence whether or not the site uses the old<br>
rendering engine or not? If a simple line in the header is what keeps<br>
you off the blacklist, then I'm not sure this is worth debating again.<br>
