Yes, you are right. It was enabled at the time that we removed the feature. (We had disabled it on some scenarios for our hosting.)

And on closer look, there are a few niceties in the bootstrap mode that we should keep, marking the first admin as a moderator and granting TL1 to the first group of new users stand out to me as desirable features.
