Please, no. I think flyspell is too intrusive to be enabled by default.
People can easily write a couple of hooks to turn it on where it makes
sense to _them_. I never use flyspell-mode. I wrote wcheck-mode[1]
because I wanted faster and more configurable checker. Ispell-based
checkers are not enough. But I wouldn't suggest that wcheck-mode should
be enabled by default.
