The claim is that it needs to be on for new users if it's going to do
any good. No problem. That is *not* the same thing as "on by default."

On by default implies that you're turning it on for everyone, which is
going to surprise and annoy a lot of users. I'd say that would be a
fail.

You need a way to turn it on for new users *without* turning it on for
everyone. Like, for instance, adding it to /usr/share/skel.
