Two questions:

  1. Should this be one config option? Something like enable_authenticated_media?
  2. Should this option be documented in the config manual, since we are going to switch it on default and strongly encourage it's use - perhaps documenting it will make it seem more optional than we'd like?

I think documenting any config option (except experimental ones) is worth doing, even if you discourage changing it and outline the plans for the default value of the option. May also be worth saying when the option is expected to be removed (which I imagine we will do?)

Yup, agreed. I'm sure there will be some people that will need to fiddle with the config options (e.g. those using custom clients), so having them documented would be good.

I'm in two minds a bit here. Having two gives us more flexibility, but not actually sure of the use case. The only thing that comes to mind is if we change the defaults at different times, but then I think we wouldn't want to do that at all.

I also went back and forth about making it one config option, and I think in the end it makes slightly more sense to make it one, essentially for the reasons you listed - I couldn't really think of a case where the two would be set independently of each other. I am going to switch it to one - this will also make documentation clearer. If anyone comes up with a reason to switch it back let me know...
