Yep, those are from where I pulled Eli's quote. There's a lot of discussion there but only briefly touching on whether this should be nil by default, where consensus  seemed to be nil by default is most appropriate, but then someone yolo'd it to t anyway.

The elephant in the room there that *of course* those with an existing understanding of the feature don't find it disruptive -- they already know exactly what's happening! For everyone else it's a WTF moment (which is now fixed by defaulting to nil; nothing more to see here, move along folks...).
