As a new MY14 LR4 owner I can live with this feature on by default as long as I'm not in a hurry out of the gate, or when i'm on slight downhill backed up on ramp (my daily commute!). At that point I turn it off.
You can turn off this feature anytime you want as long as you're in neutral or park, so if it's too painful in stop-and-go traffic then just quickly go to park, press the button, and back to drive and you're good to go.
