I think it is a design mistake to let the writing processes's
capability decide what is written in the file to be read later by a
different process, which possibly may have different capability.  If
you are not writing with multiple threads, it should not matter if
that writer process is capable of and configured to spawn 8 threads
if the process were reading the file---as it is not reading the file
it is writing right now.

I can understand if the design is to write IEOT only if the
resulting index is expected to become large enough (above an
arbitrary threshold like 100k entries) to matter.  I also can
understand if IEOT is omitted when the repository configuration says
that no process is allowed to read the index with multi-threaded
codepath in that repository.
