2¢: keep them, though with prettier icons.  It's trivial to disable them, but 
it's not trivial to discover that they exist if they are disabled by default.
(FWIW, this is a general philosophy: I think Emacs should ship with a lot more 
stuff enabled by default, maybe with a spartan-mode to revert to the current 
defaults.)
