It's meant to be a debugging aid for app and toolkit developers, who need to break stuck grabs from time to time. It wasn't meant to be enabled by default, but that apparently got lost in a miscommunication between myself and the keyboard layout maintainer, and I didn't think to double-check afterwards. Oh well.

You must have had bothered to mark the change clearly in the code commit *you* made -- and must have had communicated that to the others working on it as well.
It's not "oh well". It's why six-month-craze is counterproductive.
