Yes, I am still thinking about his comments.  There are pros and cons for each 
way of doing it ...

I don't think my proposal, which is currently incompletely thought out will 
modify the default.  In any case, any implementation of it will not change 
the current behavior by default, though I might consider releasing a default 
bacula-dir.conf that has the feature turned on, which won't break any 
existing installation.
