I have no real problem with it being on by default, if someone really wants to toggle it they can edit koha-conf.xml anyway.
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.
