Having two separate methods of scrolling enabled by default sucks. Let's assume the default user knows that $SCROLLINGMETHOD is enabled. But the second one is enabled too, except that the user doesn't know about it. Stuff starts scrolling unexpectantly when they clearly haven't used $SCROLLINGMETHOD. And if stuff happens unexpectantly, then it must be a bug. So they file a bug and make Peter fix it. Clearly not the way to eternal happiness.
