No.  Absolutely not.

The client may not want tag objects from this remote.  It might not
want those tags for all sorts of reasons.  Maybe they are doing a
one-shot pull.  Maybe they don't trust this remote.  Maybe they trust
this remote but this remote is famous for 192M tags containing PDFs
of photo images of build logs printed out on paper, then photographed
on a wood table and finally scanned in at 600 dpi.

So it should only be enabled *if* we were willing to open a second
connection to this remote to followtags from it.  And that's not
a change from prior behavior either, its just faster.
