I think there are arguments both ways. The advantage of leaving it to False is to force people to think about it, IMHO. If it's True by default and someone uses their own parallelism, they may get suboptimal results without knowing why (because of oversubscription). Perhaps @mrocklin wants to share thoughts about it (topic: making some operations parallel by default in library code).
