That sort of whiplash (disabling something 'temporarily' only to bring it back next release) is generally frustrating to all sides. The flat volume haters will rejoice when we turn it off now and upset when we bring it back later. The flat volume proponents will have the opposite reaction. And everybody else will just shake their head and think "they have no idea what they're doing".
Since we've been living with flat volume's warts for so long, I would suggest to wait for the PA fixes.
Is it a PA fix that's needed, or is it the applications that need to not default to asking for 100% volume? My understanding is with flat volume, 100% application volume means 100% absolute volume, rather than 100% of "system" volume, i.e. a relative amount.
Maybe some people would volunteer to show up for a volume test day, go through the apps with a default installation and report apps with too high default volume?
