It it worth talking about taking this change upstream? The default behaviour simply cannot be considered sensible as tap to click is an expected and useful feature which many touchpads are designed in the expectation of. Mine at least is almost impossible to use without it. -- Source rename

Tap to click is an essential feature to enable by default. From experience it was incessantly annoying when disabled by default in fedora. Quite a lot of newer laptops (including my eeePc) depend on it as the either have harder to click physical buttons or some have none at all. Fedora seems to
