Ben has an excellent point about triangular workflows, and Jeff of course, your philosophical instincts seem correct to me, interesting to read!

I would think that most people don't have separate tracking and push branches to begin with. So it's not a lot of people would be bothered by having this be on by default. The people who know about triangular workflows will also be able to find how to turn this off.
