Well, this isn't a "new feature", and I'm not sure it's a good idea to just enable this randomly during the update from F31 to F32. Personally, I wouldn't do it, because it's not something the user's preferences for can actually be accounted for. For example, I don't use trim for a number of reasons, and I wouldn't want to find that it was enabled on me at some point. -- John M.
