There is no reason not to do so. The mode has no effect when there is no recursive minibuffer, which is most of the time. And when there is a recursive minibuffer it is essential that that fact be communicated to users, one way or another. This mode provides one way. mb-depth.el has been present in the code for years now, but it is still essentially ignored, unknown to most users. Please put it to use, letting users know when they are in a recursive minibuffer, by default. Novice users are the least likely to discover this feature, and they are perhaps the most in need of its aid. This is no different from Emacs automatically adding nested `[...]' to the mode line to indicate recursive editing levels. No one would suggest that that indicator be turned off by default and that users be forced to learn about it on their own and turn it on. The same should be the case for indicating recursive minibuffer levels. Should be a no-brainer.
