Community is not a single entity. It is a very diverse set of
independent people with sometimes very strong opinions on both sides.
Rahul
And the many strong opinions need to be heard by the maintainers. If
there is a strong opinion, as this diverse thread has shown, then that
is a strong indication that a decision should be revisited and if no
change is made, then say why with the facts and data to support it. I
haven't seen a real strong indication in this thread why the default
behavior should be as it is, only why it shouldn't be, tho it does seem
to be a simple matter to turn on c-a-bs. The question revolves around
defaults and which it should be.
