Suggestion:
Add a global option to rc.conf (better name appreciated)
unset_options_default_to_on=YES
If YES (the default), an unset enable option (such as would happen
with a package install) defaults to YES, and you set to 'NO'
to disable.
If no (for thow who want total control), an unset enable option
defaults to NO, so everything needs to be explicitly set to YES
to enable.
If people like the concept, we can now argue about the default :)
