That's not what I am saying; I full well accept that we need to attract as many people as we can but I prefer to do this while not scaring current customers away. Just randomly changing default because some group of people thinks that such a default is better is not the right approach; particularly because there is a not necessarily a relationship between what people suggest and what the majority of people wants and/or cares about. 1) We need data 2) We need to look for a better technical solution first.
