The overhead is probably small, but what this would do is start the
archiver and report to stats views etc. that archiving is running and
progressing, even though it's doing nothing. That seems pretty bogus
and confusing.
Most users[citation needed] don't even use archiving anymore, so this is
the wrong end of history to be fiddling with this setting.
