The idea with my proposal (we talked this on IRC, I think) was to simplify things, so I proposed that we enable everything so we don't have to provide flags, etc. I prefer if we got rid of the flags, or at least most of them (lumping them together with a flag to disable debug tools or so), and remove the summary message as well. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
