--- Comment #15 from Oliver Beard <[email protected]> ---
For the time being we would continue to do what we are doing currently.

When picking a default, we tend to go with what works best for "simple by
default, powerful when needed".

Unfortunately picking a default can be seen as 'picking a side', but if we do
make a change, we certainly won't do so without keeping the option, and we
won't do so arbitrarily or flippantly.

Importantly, it is likely that if we do change the default, we make this change
without being retroactively effective: only new users would see the new
default, and existing users would be left with a changed setting (away from the
new default).

Sometimes a compromise is unsatisfactory for everyone, which I believe a popup
would be — an unexpected and instrusive window that appears asking a question
without explicitly being prompted.

We could do a passive notification, but it would be kind-of clippy-like ("You
just did <blank>. Did you mean to do <blank>?"). We know from history that this
sort of interaction is obnoxious.

With Welcome Center, we are explicitly careful that we do not force the user to
explicitly skip or finish it. If they close the window (i.e. we are told to 'f'
off), that's it. It won't show again.
