Not in 2.065
2.066 will introduce "virtual" keyword
2.067+ will change the defaults if it will still be considered good idea
Have a link to where that was decided? I was under the impression that
virtual was accepted as a compromise so people could just stick
"final:" at the top of their classes have have something acceptably
close to final-by-default. I can't remember if I actually managed to
keep up with that behemoth of a thread though.
It was buried in that thread. Here is a bugzilla issue that links to
Walter's post. I wasn't aware until recently. Re-reading the thread where
Walter agreed, I can't find a clear response from Andrei that he was in
agreement or not, but I suspect not (especially after reading his
responses here).

Perhaps the feature should be put on hold for now? Haven't heard Walter
re-affirm his position.
