I don't know if polling the community is worth it. I'm not talking about discarding this feature, but only changing the default. I may be wrong, but I suspect that less than 1% of Ivy users actually use this feature (it may even be 0). Even if it's 10%, I still think the default should be false. But if you really think we should poll the community first, I'm ok, I just don't want to loose too much time for a minor change like this.
