It's impossible to know, but I think the case for changing a long-term default needs to be stronger than "I wasn't paying attention when I installed the package and it caused problems". That may sound harsh, but that's how it comes across to me. No configuration is an option. If I am understanding correctly, all you had to do was select it.
