AFAIK there are 3 types of users: those who want it ON, those who want it
OFF and those who don't care.  I'm not sure how those are spread
statistically, but the number of complaints I've seen since the feature
was turned ON suggests that the first type is a small minority.

Yes, like I do for many other Emacs features that are enabled
by default ;-)
