AFAIK the reason why it is not the default is because it is only presented in some version of linux and a specific adapter, which are both very popular but not the general setup, but will let Martin elaborate on that, specially since from what I remember the driver problem has been fixed already in the kernel. there is also the problem that it could throw away valid data which is naturally spiky.
