mana defaulted to yes/no token is similar to "I haven't explicitly decided". If
we set it to "no" by default, then the library can miss the feature. I want to
avoid the hea case where the default set to "no" result in many libraries
missing the feature, and not saying "I don't want to share".
the proposed behavior is harmless from privacy as well as from ergonomics point
of view.
So I really think we must not default to "no" and the proposed change is fine.

Hea is a good example of something we could have promoted better: how many
libraries are not sharing because they don't know that hea exist vs not sharing
because they don't want to share ?
I want to avoid this behavior.

I agree with promoting & documenting.
But that's not enough, many libraries don't read the doc, or don't investigate.
Add the case where an IT makes upgrade and the library don't even know...
So making mana visible in the staff interface, to be sure the librarian chose,
and not only "don't know" is the way to go.
