The significant statistic would be how many people who install a gem
actually USE the autogenerated rdocs.  I personally always turn them
off to speed installation.

I'm +1 on making it default to off, if only to increase the perceived
speed of gem installation in the default case.  If you know enough to
want rdoc, you should know enough to enable autogeneration.
