And the many strong opinions need to be heard by the maintainers.  If 
there is a strong opinion, as this diverse thread has shown, then that 
is a strong indication that a decision should be revisited and if no 
change is made, then say why with the facts and data to support it.  I 
haven't seen a real strong indication in this thread why the default 
behavior should be as it is, only why it shouldn't be, tho it does seem 
to be a simple matter to turn on c-a-bs.  The question revolves around 
defaults and which it should be.
