should not have defaults changed in unexpected ways.

We strive to present the same user experience for upgrades as for new
installs; primarily to reduce the risk of some behavior affecting only a
subset of users, and missing that as part of the release or upgrade
enablement.

The other aspect is that if you maintain a fleet of machines, some
upgraded, and some new installs, they should broadly behave the same,
otherwise the administrators need to figure out why some machines behave
differently and that is very annoying to deal with.

This would be highly problematic given sticky keys issues, double key
press issues, etc. that can happen with keyboards.
