But similar assumption applies to current behavior: if a user forgets to run dispatch-conf after updating and machine is rebooted (by error, due some power failure, due other users rebooting it...), they will probably get failures when booting and, for example, some init.d scripts file to start due obsolete conf.d files being preserved by default. > > > Even if we go with enabling it by default, please have a news item so > > that one can turn it off if necessary.
