This is the core dispute here. Stated differently, I hope you never

Correctness first, optimization second. Introducing random and

If at some point one of the pro-4k stacks crowd can prove that all
code paths are safe, or introduce another viable alternative (such as
Matt's idea for extending the stack dynamically), then removing the 8k
stacks option makes sense.
