For maximum security, they should probably both be disabled by default.

Debian does this already. Linux distributions typically install Memcached as best befits their security needs.

You should also consider a release taxonomy where these kinds of changes are not allowed unless there is a major (or minor) release number upgrade, and followed by a proper release note. For most memcached environments, this is probably not an issue, but there may be some combinations of firewall policies and port number changes that accidentally cause a security issue.

It was, that was one of the major changes for the 1.2.5 release :)
