I'm not arguing against having it on by default.

What I'm against (and that's strong, it should probably be "prefer not
to have") is having it configured "on", but having it "not work".

If it's been configured to run in a state it can't, I would prefer it
didn't run, not that it ran, but in a slightly different state...

But I know that's just a preference... And one from an old-school unix
admin too...
