I also haven't looked at the code, but yeah, it is an issue that it's in
the advanced part and we shouldn't hide it from the user that it's on.

That might work, but if we do that, please only in the UI. Also not
ideal, because how would interaction with the flag in the grid work?
E.g. don't show it, force it on if an -aes model is selected?

Maybe the easiest would be to extract the aes flag out of the grid into
the non-advanced part?
