huh? It's never been on in F11. In fact, the code isn't even present as
an option there. (It's a post 2.6.30 feature)

In rawhide, it was switched on for about a week a month or so back, and
turned off because of the number of false positives being too high to make it useful.

It might come back on for a short time periodically in rawhide, but
generally, it's off.
