2.8.3 was a bufix release, and flipping a controversial flag should
clearly not be done on a bugfix release. So, in this context, "beginning
of a cycle" means after a x.y.0 release.

Anyway, a patch enabling MAN_BOLD_LITERAL by default would need to cook
in pu and next as any other patches, so the time when the patch is sent
does not really matter.
