I have to say, this amazes me.

In my opinion this should be changed, to protect the innocent unknowing 
Linux users. The expert users who know what they get themselves into, 
can figure out how to re-enable. Default should be to not permit it. Can 
anyone tell me why it is enabled by default?

Just my opinion....
