I fully agree.  The idea with my proposal (we talked this on IRC, I think)
was to simplify things, so I proposed that we enable everything so we don't
have to provide flags, etc.

I prefer if we got rid of the flags, or at least most of them (lumping them
together with a flag to disable debug tools or so), and remove the summary
message as well.
