It isn't requiring the user to build it that I'm worried about. However, I
refuse to continue tilting against this windmill. Given that I'm the only
one who seems to object to this, I withdraw my objection, and
correspondingly reserve the right to wave the "I told you this was a bad
idea" sign if it all blows up down the road.

Meanwhile, I agree with Brooks, if it's in the base, it needs to be on by
default.

I would say that this is a minimum requirement, and I am glad that your
thinking has proceeded in this direction.

Why?
