I think duplicate content should be handled via canonical meta tag.
Not some hack that forces redirects on possibly every page request.
I say remove it from core, because.
A. Its a kludge
B. It has nothing to do with canonical, its a redirect hack.
C. We can change core in future to only respect actual permalink structure and then this "solution" becomes pointless
D. Having a config option for a single line of code "feature" is non optimal.
E. Enabling it can cause serious issues that are hard to convey or predict to regular uses.
