Comment (by Adam (Chainz) Johnson):
I don't think there are many downsides to changing the template. We
already ask developers to learn about these flags before production in
`manage.py check --deploy`, so having them visible and on by default
pushes this earlier in development and reduces the risk of writing
incompatible, less secure code to begin with, on new projects.
Changing the defaults via the deprecation timeline risks breaking sites
(sometimes subtly) for each of these headers, since they disable some
(bad) browser behaviour. We can probably force users to explicitly set the
flags in their settings file in the version before the default is
switched. I think there's a precedent but can't remember which setting.
