Two reasons:

1) I have not started to look at new patches until now

   And this is due to several reasons.
   First off I have been without internet for a while.
   And secondly I do try to avoid new patches during the
   merge window which does not fix merge issues.

2) I am not convinced that "default y" is really what we want.
   What does popular distroes use (aka what gets wide testing?).
