Comment (by davidbaumwald):

 I agree with others above, including fellow committer @peterwilsoncc. I've
 been following this and #64696 closely. RTC should be opt-in.

 Personally, I think this feature still needs more "soak time" in the
 ecosystem before being enabled by default in Core, though it appears the
 direction for 7.0 has largely been decided by leadership.

 That said, I appreciate the work contributors have put into building this
 and the effort to try to delivery this in 7.0 as a headline feature.

 I do like the idea of providing a path to enable the feature through the
 post lock modal. That’s a user flow where someone has already hit an
 impasse and is presented with an alternative, allowing them to consciously
 opt into RTC.
