I don't use nano. But I think usually we want to stick with the default provided by upstream. Also, do you know how other distros handle this? Debian does disable wrapping by default. I think we can change it if many distros agree that the more sensible default is to disable wrapping. Personally though, I prefer wrapping because I can read all the text at once. I like to see the "whole picture" at once :)
