Subscribe to Rails.error automatically again? #2834

Problem Statement

In order to subscribe to Error Reporter aka Rails.error (https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/ErrorReporter.html) we need to set config.rails.register_error_subscriber = true since 5.3.0 (cf. #1771).

This is possibly confusing, when Error Reporting in Rails Applications is eager to assume the integration takes place just automatically, as it says;

Some error-reporting libraries, such as Sentry's and Honeybadger's, automatically register a subscriber for you.

It would be great if the subscription happens automatically just like the guide emphasizes. If it's still up to users to opt in to the feature, it could be the guide misinforming. In any case I think there is a chance for improvement.

Solution Brainstorm

According to #1771, the decision to disable the integration by default looks like a compromise given that Rails 7.0's error reporter had an issue. Reading further the feedback thread at rails/rails#43625 (comment) and following rails/rails#44998 then #1834, is it possible to assume the issue has been resolved and it is ready to make the subscriber registered automatically for applications whose Rails version is 7.1 or higher?
