Rewriting stream descriptions is a long, expensive, and prone-to-failure operation. Due to #8061 it may consume a lot of memory. In general, it may keep failing (and being retried) endlessly, straining the cluster. As a backdoor we add this flag for potential future needs of admins or field engineers. I don't expect it will ever be used, but it won't hurt and may save us some work in the worst case scenario.
