FWIW: I agree. Unless massive breakage is expected, the default should
be the most secure option. If you default to secure and that breaks
something, people will be motivated to fix it (either the root issue or
by changing the setting). If you default to compatible, very few people
will find the option and tweak it, so most people will lose out on the
security. If there is massive breakage, you can back it off, of course.
