Re: Default termination for relationships

Mark and JoeW's comments make sense to me. I think the default should be the safest for the user and should follow the Principle of Least Astonishment[1]. In a flow building UI it's natural to connect things together, so not connecting is the special case. That said, as Mark pointed out there ar
