Build options question

At the risk of starting another bikeshed discussion: is it generally
preferred that ports with many options disable those options by default,
or enable them?

I ask because I'm preparing to update deskutils/logjam2 to the new
release version, and last version I made it disable the extra stuff
(XMMS music detection, using gtkhtml, etc) by default, but I'm wondering
if that's the preferred behaviour.
