My last 2c on defaults: another way to decide the change is to "observe" what major distros (I am thinking of Debian, Ubuntu, Arch) do: if distros with most users are applying patches to change a default option value, then at some point (it might take one or more years) one can safely decide to incorporate the change based on the assumptions that most users have either already turned off the default or are fine with it.
