Re: Should native compilation be enabled by default?

[T.V Raman]

but users then have to edit files from packages that they didn't
write, works for a power user, but not for a typical user; unless we
turn typical user into a power user, or restrict ourselves to just
power users. I'm not going to personally stand in the way of native
comp becoming the default because when it does I still know how to
disable it as I build my own Emacs.
