I second the motion. I, personally, like flow-control, and would want it
on; but I remember well back in my earlier days, /apparently/ screwing
up my terminl with a simple Ctrl-S (which I usually wouldn't even know
I'd typed: it'd be accidental), and trying everything I could think of
(except, apparently, Ctrl-Q).

However, this has nothing to do with coreutils (stty can't set what the
/defaults/ were before it was called). And having all new terminals have
ixon turned off would be the wrong approach. Probably the best thing to
do would be to add an explicit stty call in users' .bashrc's; I
recommend adding a line "stty -ixon" in /skel/.bashrc.

** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: coreutils => bash
