Your reasoning for default y was that "power meter depends on this". Then, claim that "power meter does not officially depend on it" so it would be wrong to have a dependency. Defaults are not right solution; system should still work if I select non-default settings. Which you claim is not a case, but you don't see why you should fix it.
