Martin, you may have missed the point.

My problem is not the lack of stability of these features.
After all, I do not use them.

My problem is that as a side effect of enabling these features,
documents that previously worked might be broken.

And these are documents that do not use these features.

I don't think I've got anything to add, beyond this.
