Concentrating on making the next release is undoubtedly the top priority,
but the proposed change is so small (but still very useful), that it's

Let's not turn it on by default.  Even shells don't set a variable to
remove duplicates by default, isn't?  And so this change will not
change the current Emacs behavior.
