I'm not firmly attached to it - what are the alternatives?

Yes: the changelog's confusing, but the way I construct the configure --help is
to show --disable for options which are normally enabled, and --enable
for options which are normally disabled.  So the change affects the help
message and the option's default value.  The configure script recognizes
either form (though mentioning that would confuse even more people...).

yes - though I expect that we will remove it during post 2.8 work, as
well as some other obsolete code.  (I would remove it now, but have had
the experience of breaking working code that way - it's too late in the
test-cycle to start that).
