I'm leaning towards disabling by default myself. We have a lot of good (even great) things about TurboGears, and high on that list is that we don't force people to use pretty much anything. One failure we have in that regard, though, is that we haven't chosen (and stuck with) a JS library. At this point in web land, jQuery seems to rule the roost, and I'd like to make that the default choice that we tell people to use, and provide ways to use the others.
