There has been a constant forth and back on this topic regarding what the default should be. It used to be open, and then it was requested to be closed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=864080 The kernel folks committed this: https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=82aceae4f0d42f03d9ad7d1e90389e731153898f For me this settles the story for the time being: as long as that is the default the kernel guys think is appropriate we really should stick to it. If you don't like this default, please talk to the kernel folks and convince them to open this up again, and we'll just inherit that then. I don't think we should override kernel defaults in this area. I hope this makes sense!
