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.
