You have a lot of faith in this mode, and the extent to which it is possible to 
let it handle each and every case appropriately for each and every (potential) 
port out there. Maybe it is possible so there's indeed no need for allowing 
opt-out, but as Mihai also said, there are enough examples of cases where we'd 
want opt-in (if the user didn't specify a setting) or at least a warning if the 
user opted out but the port requires it.
