The problem then becomes the long-time users installing a fresh copy on a new system. It should be simple enough to just prompt everyone with a dialogue that lists each 'default' alias with a checklist (defaulting to false for most of these annoying ones - or with 'profile' options (like "programmer/geek", "ebay fanatic/online shopper" and "newspaper editor/nerd") that have certain features enabled and disabled per their likely use), then write out the aliases file from that.
