I like the approach of "the installer changes the default, but if someone *wants* this functionality, they can still enable it by changing the (poorly documented, alas) registry key" better... Leaving it in but having it disabled-by-default might be useful for different deployment scenarios than you have in mind. It's there for a reason, and much longer than the tap6 driver existed, so it fixed other issues...
