>the previous default of "no" is now changed to "yes".
But why exactly has the default been changed to a value that's obviously wrong for the majority of Linux systems in existence? Perhaps instead the tiny minority of systems that are used in a workstation-like fashion, where this behavior might *arguably* make some kind of sense, could set the option to yes, and all other systems could benefit from a sensible default that doesn't break things for dubious reasons? Just a thought.
