Exactly. I certainly do not mind it as an option, and I am on the fence
regarding it as a default (I think it might have been a sane thing to do
from the start, but at this point the change-of-behavior makes me
hesitate). So I am perfectly willing to go either way, depending on what
others think.
I'm going to be out of email contact the rest of the week, so I'll let
you two talk it out. :)
