 Ciaran, your initial argument was that stable users won't see those
failures as architecture teams will spot them during stabilisation.
This is wrong, above cases will turn up after a successful
stabilisation with full QA.  Nobody ever said, that spotting those is
bad, so for me this discussion has ended.  Enabling by default for
everyone (not all users are experts, like it or not) is a bad idea as
it causes many false positives and has drawbacks for just-users.
 For me following your turns and twists through a discussion is not
worth my time.

V-Li
