They decided not to use the !libtool as default yet as i know, for the reason that we still have packages which can't be maintained without libtool (kde and kde programs in example), what could confuse the users even more than building it with libtool.
To be a bit more precise, kde uses libtool for loading modules (in example kicker kio-plugins, applets and similar). That's why the option is still "not default". Though, most packages (except kde ones) should include !libtool in their options array. Simply, one way round nothing is broken if libtool is used, the other way round, things simply won't work. I think that's why it's "default" but not defined below.
