Both options are there.  It's just a question of what should be the
right default.  If you think it's just you, you could set ALL
no-set-default in your ${HOME}/.darcs/defaults.

If you think this is a matter for all users (and I think would agree
with you if you did), then it is likely a good idea to hold a debate
on this list, making sure to summarise the results on
  http://wiki.darcs.net/index.html/DefaultSwitches

I personally am leaning towards your suggestion, that --no-set-default
be the default.  I also think that if we were to mess around with the
defaults, we could maybe consider having a big bang changeover of the
default switches in darcs 2.3.  See the wiki for other defaults in
contention.
