Hi Alexander, Personally I avoid using activeByDefault, since as you encountered, it can be confusing.
Instead, you can use activation based on system properties. That tends to behave in a more intuitive way, and is also much more flexible, IMO. Then instead of writing "-PmyProfile" you write "-DmyFeature=active" or whatever.
