	It would make sense for it to be a preference with a commandline 
option as well.

	I think it would be nice to vote on a default when a feature that 
forced you to do something a certain way was made optional.  Knowing 
the way the bulk of the userbase works will reduce the amount of 
configuration the average user has to do to get going.
