Playing devil's advocate, this alone would not be reason for 3.2.
I would be willing to make these changes in the 3.0.x release
series.  Of course, 3.2 is a good break point to do this
kind of thing, but changing default behavior is not enough of
a reason for the headaches of a 3.2 release on its own.

And I know it sounds like I'm back peddling some.  Really I'm
not.  I'm just thinking out loud and looking for the best
solution.




cheers, jerry
