(speaking from a libcurl perspective)

The "warning" is just there to scare people into actually consider what they want and understand that removing bits will change behavior. I would say that's exactly what you've done and I don't think people here need to be scared anymore! :-)

As for how ALL vs DEFAULT will act or differ in the future, I suspect that we will end up having them being the same (even when we add bits) as we've encouraged "ALL" in the documentation like this for quite some time.
