Option to have Live Transfer disabled by default

Live Transfer is a badly-designed feature that simply doesn't work for some common use cases (e.g. transferring an account to a reseller that has a Shared IP address will result the website breaking immediately & the wrong IP address propagating).

While there is an option to disable Live Transfer individually for each account in the Transfer Tool, that's very error prone when you have a mixture of servers, some of which will work with Live Transfer & some of which won't (e.g. due to different types of reseller hosting on different servers).


And while Live Transfer *could* be improved to work in some of those use cases, such improvements are probably non-trivial, and it might be a long time (if ever) before those improvements are made.

I would therefore like to see a 'stop gap' solution that's extremely easy to implement - an option to have Live Transfer disabled by default (perhaps configured in Tweak Settings). Surely someone at cPanel could implement & test this in an afternoon?
