Besides, what good does do to a user to have FVs visible on every
directory listing all the time?  None, except maybe to give them the
wams and fuzzies.

The user wants those FVs only when he/she screws up :)

OTOH, I know at least one user who would find his directory listings
exploding if FV were on by default: me :)

And don't tell me that I could turn it off, or that it'd be off by
default, as I'm sure our IT department would probably turn it on for all
users by default and would make it difficult for me to get it turned
off.
