Isn't this really an o/s question?  If it isn't installed and enabled by 
Debian, RH, CentOs, Ubuntu, whatever, by default, why should an open-source 
install such as Koha usurp the o/s?

Yes, it might be a good idea to *suggest* it if the o/s doesn't have it.

Can Koha give some performance statistics? Can Koha be fairly certain that 
nothing else is compromised (and I'm pretty certain that nothing 'bad' will 
happen.) If not (and respectfully to you Robin), isn't it a wee bit 
arrogant to install it and then say "you can edit koha-conf.xml" and turn 
it off?

I have used it regularly for couple of years now, no problems, but no proof 
of functional gain (or loss), I just take it for granted -- but have 
wondered why the various o/s's don't include it automatically.

YMMV
