The feedback was quick
<http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/05/03/rfc-vitality/> and consistent
<http://www.nabble.com/RFC%3A-File-vitality-td17042627.html#a17042627>:
Marking files vital by default is a good thing. So in the next weekly
release of WiX, files will get the msidbFileAttributesVital attribute
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368596%28VS.85%29.aspx> by
default. The FilesVitalByDefault property and -fdvital switch have been
removed; in their place, SuppressFilesVitalByDefault and -sfdvital turn
off the default "vital" behavior.

I just posted a request for comments on my blog, to ask about a change
we're considering to simplify WiX authoring. 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. Please read
the whole post and let us know what you think, either via blog post
comments or mail on this list.
