There is "no problem", and there is "better practice" - and if your system is 
I/O bound it makes sense to minimize on-disk fragmentation.

However, given the need for file-per-table to benefit from compression, I admit 
that it might make sense to change the default now. Would you say compression 
should be enabled by default, too? If you're aiming at diskbound systems, I'd 
think that it might make sense, too.

Changing the default is a surprise, no? :-) Also, everything is a surprise if 
you don't read the fine manual.
