Well, we can't simply change the default behavior. That would break lots 
of workflows.


And enabling it is also a matter of trusting the server, which is not 
always the case.


May you can enable this "by default" in your environments by adding the 
flag to ~/.wgetrc or /etc/wgetrc. Or specify a diferent config file in 
$WGETRC.
