That's the problem with thinking your personal preferences are
definitely good for everyone else.  They aren't.

Please, people, just this once, let it go.  We just flipped this
setting on; please let the dust settle at least for a while before you
come up with reasons why it should be turned back off.  It's very easy
to turn it off in your customizations, so if you cannot tolerate it,
just turn it off and move on.  Let's limit any changes related to
show-paren-mode to fixing bugs, like that recursive-load problem
someone just reported.  Everything else let's please filter out.
