Changes (by errge):

 * priority:  high => normal
 * milestone:  7.8.1 => 7.10.1


Comment:

 Also, I've changed the milestone now to 7.10.1 and changed the priority to
 normal.

 I don't want to rush anyone into a decision that is clearly not super
 important.  Everything is like as it is for years, and users can easily
 say -fno-full-laziness themselves.

 Since this is only a simple flag switch, if we decide that we should do
 the switch, we can easily do it for 7.8.2 or later 7.8 releases, no rush.
