Bob, >From my POV, I'd say that having the option on should be the default, but allow for it to be disabled.
I don't know if it is a good idea or not... but it might also be nice to have a way to disable the option easily for multiple files, but not necessarily all files, in a WiX fragment - I.e. within a Component or Directory, have a mechanism to say "files associated with this do not need msidbFileAttributesVital", rather than having to set it for each file individually. Obviously if anything of the type were implemented, explicit settings in a File element should always take precedence. Just my initial thoughts....

You can see the post here: http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/05/03/rfc-vitality/ The short version is that we're considering marking all files with the msidbFileAttributesVital bit set by default. That's a behavior change and we wanted to get feedback before deciding either way.
