I think there are two ways we can do this, seeing that most appear to be
in favor of doing it in the first place:  Either we just flip the
default, make a note in the release notes, and see what happens.  Or we
spend some time now and make, say, a list of driver versions and
application versions that work with standard_conforming_strings = on,
and then decide based on that, and also make that list a public resource
for packagers etc.
