It was decided not to remove background ads now but set them to off for all existing and new installations. And let users to explicitly turn them on if they wish.

I don't see any uplift PR's for this issue. The PR fix is marked for 1.10.x. We should move this one out of 1.7.x and may be put it in 1.8.x
