Liming, Jiewen, I am personally fine to resubmit the patch changing the defaults to TRUE, but does it actually make sense in any other environment but some special testing platform? I cannot imagine any production platform that would need it enabled, the only use case is to perform analysis on the trusted data usage or something similar, as I explained on BZ. As for assertions, I would expect that all PCDs we introduce are meant to control unexpected ASSERT behaviour. I.e. where ASSERTs are potentially used to signalise about issues coming not only from trusted sources (usage contract violation) but also from untrusted sources (external data). Such assertions cannot be used in production environments, as they may break software, and thus we have to implement code to disable them.
