Seems to me we've had a lot of discussion around here about what the
appropriate defaults are for the various features meant to guide
users, but that some people really hate. Maybe what's needed is a
chance to decide during installation. If the choices were really clear
(like "Help me as much as you can," "Help me with tough stuff" and
"Leave me alone"--not really those wording, but those ideas), people
could make an informed decision and get most of the defaults right for
their situation.
