because I don't think that new features should be automatically
enabled by default. The difference between libblkid from e2fsprogs
and from u-l-ng is 150 patches:
73 files changed, 8478 insertions(+), 2626 deletions(-)
Now it's pretty visible that people completely ignore -rcX releases
so all the changes are untested. (Exception is Scott James Remnant
who tested -rc releases on Ubuntu. Thanks!)
IMHO it's really good that people have to think when they typing
"./configure".
(Kay's impatience with "rm -f volume_id" is a different story:-)
