Hmph, an optional configuration is optional because the lack of it means the feature behind it does not trigger.

While it makes tons of sense to mention what the default is when there are more than true or false choices (e.g. "defaults to never, among possible choices never/local/remote/always"), or if it defaults to true and the knob is to opt out of it, it feels like it adds unnecesary noise to say "defaults to off" for a configuration that is clearly a Boolean.

So I dunno.
