Maybe they should introduce an option to configure which set of defaults is used.
e.g.
defaults=traditional adopts current defaults (that maximise backward compatibility)
defaults=latest adopts latest recommended defaults (better out-of-box user experience, but may break things which depend on the traditional settings)
Then at least there is only one setting to change to get sane defaults.
Maybe even, defaults=VERSION to give you latest defaults as per that version.

- bacon_waffle 4y agoMaybe there could be a "C++ style defaults" set of configuration, as default?
