If the latter, could you please expand on what the annoyances were for you ? (maybe your annoyance inherently imply to trigger the behavior of, maybe there are alternative solutions to be found to get the best of both worlds). > > I would certainly hope that it remains possible to disable the automatic > building, but I would also argue that it'd be most sensible for it to be off > by default.
