Fair points, even if you're a little worked up about it. When I was last doing some refactoring of the TS Configuration class, I considered removing the default morphology, but didn't because people were already using TS working on the (yes, barely documented) assumption that it *is* the default.
So, I agree about the default being nothing, and people set it if they want one.. but how to we deprecate it cleanly? Beyond just removing it, which is easy to do, but a warning would be nice, except we don't want that warning appearing *every* time ts:in is run, or something like that. Suggestions welcome.
