Comment:

 Hi Robert,
 I finally started looking at this patch, which clearly is the most
 controversial. I read the discussion on sage-devel and I am not sure at
 all whether there is a real consensus. I know consistency is a strong
 argument, but I just feel bad with having a standard argument that fails
 for all but one ring. That won't be beneficial to neither students nor
 "us", the researchers.
 What about a standard format = None, that if the base ring is QQ leads to
 'all' and, otherwise, to 'galois'. If, in the documentation, you put a
 warning that for rings different from QQ this might change in the future
 (in favour of 'all') than any programmer is informed.
