I don't see a reason why ECL would keep having feature-X disabled by default if it already support it fully. I see the point in disabling it only if it is highly an experimental feature. Features that are enbled by default will certainly have much more testing in user code then other.
As long as those features could be easily disabled in custom builds by users that need smaller runtime, a bit faster execution, easier embedding or whatever, I can't see a point in keeping them disabled by default. I think the same about unicode and threads.
