Setting defaults which knowingly cause problems is a horrible idea. Just because it works for you and your setup is no justification to force it upon everyone. This is certainly a feature that, if wanted, can be enabled by the user. I don't see any reasonable argument against letting the user enable it if he/she wants it. Ps. Sorry for the double-post if anyone already received this.
