I'm not so sure. Why is it redundant? With the third party repositories
set up at the moment, you're saying "These are repositories that you can
use if you want to.  Please review them and enable ones you'd use." So,
there's that decision for the user to make, which gives the user time to
review what these repositories are.

Enabling them by default takes this away from them. I think disabled by
default makes sense, especially in the case of repositories that provide
proprietary software.
