I'm not crazy about setting it when you press enter: it's at least as
confusing to people when they're running a program as it is when they're
typing a command. If we're going to disable it, I vote for disabling it
completely (until the user explicitly enables it with stty, or by
removing the appropriate line from their .bashrc). Hm.... however,
Matthias' proposed behavior actually seems to be the current behavior of
bash on Hardy Heron, so if that _is_ an agreeable solution, we could
perhaps close this bug out.

As to writing a spec about it: I don't think that's really appropriate
for this sort of solution. To turn off flow control by default for new
users, simply adding the line "stty -ixoff -ixon" to /etc/skel/.bashrc
would do the trick.

Discussion, however, does seem reasonable.
