I'm fine with changing the default for the time being. I'm not really
sure what I think about changing it back before release. Maybe six
months from now it will be clearer what the right thing to do is; or
maybe other people will be more certain of what The Right Thing To Do
is than I am myself; but there's no rush to finalize a decision right
this minute.
