Well, I thinks it depends. If there is also (apart from the nano in
/bin, which is to be used for rescue purposes) a nano in /usr/bin (which
normal users would use to edit their text files), I agree with you. I
think however that we should not have the situation that an editor that
is commonly used by normal users, has default settings that do not make
sense to them.
