No idea, but then again, I see no reason why it shouldn't be.
Maybe you could give some reasons why not?

I assume it because if you want that functionality anywhere, you're like
to want it everywhere, so enabling it in individual buffers would be a
pain.

Nowadays it'd probably be handled with a buffer-local mode plus a
globalized mode, but I think it predates define-globalized-minor-mode.

IMO exist reasons to have it buffer-local rather.

Remember several reports of slowness from CEDET in past.

We have a similar situation now at python-mode.el, however with certain files only, i.e with very large definitions.

That might make Emacs slow, without user being aware of the reasons.

Cheers,

Andreas
