I'm sorry, I think I wasn't very clear in my question. It isn't the default in Arch Linux because it isn't the default upstream,
Probably because we just set "defaults" in fstab and let the user worry about the rest.
but why it isn't the default upstream? My worry is that it's somehow related to dataloss, but I couldn't find any search result about it, so I'll assume it's secure. In the worst case, I have my (daily) backups :)
It is safe, these attributes just take some space. No idea why they don't want these enabled by default. There are some applications that need those attributes, I think beagle does, not sure.
In any case, if you use your own user.* xattr scheme, you should prefix them by something to make sure the names are unique.
