Comment(by anonymous):
If at all, NOT erasing should be an option. Not the other way round.
a) this would break all scripts out there
b) it's just bad design from a user perspective.
c) it's technical infatuation rather than looking at the big picture.
I veto any patch that changes the "automatic" behavior per default in
advance.
