I've just discovered that this command exists at all, but I see no need
to have it on-by-default.  

It eats screen real estate, and I don't particularily like if something 
like that is forced on me.

And, of course, all my scripts that do telnet'ish operations on the
routers would have to be adapted, and I'm not particularily fond of 
such surprises either.  So, if you ask me, no thanks.
