--- Comment #19 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
I am asserting that the previous default setting (leave it up to the distro's
default configuration) was useless. Consider the following use cases:

If you wanted bluetooth active at login and your distro configured it to be
active at login, you were previously happy, but the new default "remember"
setting makes you equally as happy, and you can also be made equally happy by
using the new "always on" setting.

If you wanted bluetooth inactive at login and your distro configured it to be
inactive at login, you were previously happy, but the new default "remember"
setting makes you equally as happy, and you can also be made equally happy by
using the new "always off" setting.

If you wanted bluetooth active at login and your distro configured it to be
inactive at login, you were previously unhappy, but you are now happy with the
new default "remember" setting, and can also be made happy by using the new
"always on" setting.

If you wanted bluetooth inactive active at login and your distro configured it
to be active at login, you were previously unhappy, but you are now happy with
new default "remember" setting, and can also be made happy by using the new
"always off" setting.

If you wanted the bluetooth status to be remembered, you were previously happy,
but you are now happy with the new default "remember" setting.

I don't believe there are any additional use cases beyond these. We're talking
about something as simple as whether bluetooth is on or off at login. There
aren't a lot of states it can be in. Thus my assertion that the new feature
with its default setting covers all possible states either as good as or better
than the old thing.

If you can think of any additional use cases not covered here, I'll be happy to
consider them. But adding settings to cover theoretical use cases does not make
sense, especially when the setting being requested is confusing and needs a
paragraph of text to explain it to the majority of users, who after all are
generally not familiar with the concept of a settings hierarchy.
