First, I would defer to ryoon who has been doing all the work on
enigmail.  While pkgsrc generally uses stable versions, there may be
some reason in this case.

From a pmc/freeze viewpoint, It's fine to change the option default,
since this is fixing what is arguably a bug, and is only changing a
leaf.
