I'm not completely against it.  My *slight* hesitation in doing it would
be that from my experience these knobs aren't a one-size-fits-all thing
for people trying to debug stuff in production.  So you sorta need to
know a bit more about what you're doing when fiddling with them.

Turning them all on is probably OK for a workstation user but less
likely to be OK for a server admin.  Some may want/need to add in
KDB_UNATTENDED depending on their circumstances, etc.
