Yes, I just thought it deserved comment / consensus, it's kind of a big deal. OTOH I guess there's the standard argument about saving users from themselves and it will save as many users as it helps.

If people really thought it was the right thing to do, I'll overrule myself and make it an option, but it didn't seem like a good idea when I wrote that code. Of course, one can always do it in Javascript too.
