It's not strictly relevant to this bug, but at this point, we should really hard-require pcre2 rather than giving a choice, but it's ok to offer both initially if you really want if there's a substantial risk of breakage.

Not against it, but 2.9.7 was the first release to add pcre2 support, that's why it was added as optional. We can change it to hard requirement in the next release.
