Uneasy, but not a hard 'no'. Having dumps has saved my ass so many
times that I don't really want to present a default install option
that gets rid of them. Especially since CWFS isn't crash-safe, so
pulling the plug without a dump leaves you without a way to recover.

It's good to have it documented, but putting it as an option in the
install media suggests to me that it's a recommended configuration,
and it's one that I'd really want people to think hard about.
