Is nested virtualization enabled by default in PVE7 ?

[BelCloud]

Hello

I've noticed that in PVE7, nested virtualization seems enabled by default:
# cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested Y # pveversion -V proxmox-ve: 7.1-1 (running kernel: 5.11.22-7-pve) pve-manager: 7.1-6 (running version: 7.1-6/4e61e21c) pve-kernel-5.13: 7.1-4 pve-kernel-helper: 7.1-4 pve-kernel-5.11: 7.0-10 pve-kernel-5.13.19-1-pve: 5.13.19-3 pve-kernel-5.11.22-7-pve: 5.11.22-12 pve-kernel-5.11.22-4-pve: 5.11.22-9 ceph-fuse: 15.2.14-pve1 corosync: 3.1.5-pve2 criu: 3.15-1+pve-1 glusterfs-client: 9.2-1 ifupdown2: 3.1.0-1+pmx3 ksm-control-daemon: 1.4-1 libjs-extjs: 7.0.0-1 libknet1: 1.22-pve2 libproxmox-acme-perl: 1.4.0 libproxmox-backup-qemu0: 1.2.0-1 libpve-access-control: 7.1-4 libpve-apiclient-perl: 3.2-1 libpve-common-perl: 7.0-14 libpve-guest-common-perl: 4.0-3 libpve-http-server-perl: 4.0-3 libpve-storage-perl: 7.0-15 libspice-server1: 0.14.3-2.1 lvm2: 2.03.11-2.1 lxc-pve: 4.0.9-4 lxcfs: 4.0.8-pve2 novnc-pve: 1.2.0-3 proxmox-backup-client: 2.1.2-1 proxmox-backup-file-restore: 2.1.2-1 proxmox-mini-journalreader: 1.2-1 proxmox-widget-toolkit: 3.4-3 pve-cluster: 7.1-2 pve-container: 4.1-2 pve-docs: 7.1-2 pve-edk2-firmware: 3.20210831-2 pve-firewall: 4.2-5 pve-firmware: 3.3-3 pve-ha-manager: 3.3-1 pve-i18n: 2.6-2 pve-qemu-kvm: 6.1.0-2 pve-xtermjs: 4.12.0-1 qemu-server: 7.1-4 smartmontools: 7.2-1 spiceterm: 3.2-2 swtpm: 0.7.0~rc1+2 vncterm: 1.7-1 zfsutils-linux: 2.1.1-pve3

Is this by design?

I have a newely installed lab cluster on top of existing proxmox with manually enabled nested virtualization and i also see:

cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested

I think it was not enabled in previous kernel (<= 5.3), but since 5.4 it seem to be enabled by default.
