Overload retargeting helps intracluster operations avoid servers that have previously returned SystemOverloadedErrors, but it also subtly changes the semantics of primaryPreferred, secondaryPreferred read preferences by allowing the non-preferred server be selected more often. To prevent surprising customers with stale reads more often, we should make this feature opt-in. This mirrors a decision made in the drivers.
