I think it unwise to override upstream defaults for a feature they 
consider ‘on life support’.

Their position is that instead of the bolted-on CGI interface, 
users should use a UI that speaks directly to CUPS's C or HTTP 
API, like system-config-printer.

The only reason I added the default state in brackets is to remind 
those who do want the Web UI that it's a separate thing, so when 
they open https://localhost:631 a week later they might remember 
that and what to enable :-)

Eh, I just ran all of the tests.  No new ones failed.

By the way: the *os-encrypted ones never work, they all hang 
forever at the Linux LUKS prompt.

Thanks for replying!  I'll push it tomorrow.

Kind regards,
