It will be easy to turn it off, but depending on the platform we might have removed support for GHCi when it's turned off.
Why not provide RTS linker as a deprecated option at least until it's completely removed from all platforms? I mostly do static builds for Linux/x86 and Win32, and the prospect of compiling twice as much, possibly with a slower compiler, just to use ghci prompt(or even Template Haskell(?)) is not exactly exciting. And introducing more differences between Haskell on *nix and on Windows isn't going to make cross-platform development easier.
