If that's what's necessary to get it accepted, I'm willing to do that.
But when a solution does not negatively impact usability or performance
and improves security, even in a small way, why should it not be enabled
by default?  Of course it's my responsibility to first propose a
solution that is acceptable from a usability/debugging standpoint, but
assuming that can be achieved, I don't really see what the problem is.
There's a difference between being a "paranoid idiot" and wanting to
protect users from unnecessary exposure.
