Hi Sergey,

But it's arguably a wrong behavior, and keeping it forever wrong
because of a decision made ~20 years ago, doesn't seem like
a particularly great idea.

Also, while I'm usually all for retaining backward-compatibility,
I cannot imagine this breaking anything.

Right, but if you require majority of users to change the defaults,
then those defaults are not very good.

I'm happy to submit the corresponding change if the patch
is accepted.

Best regards,
Piotr Sikora
