| Well, why?  You wrote "should", so that's open to interpretation.

The default is currently off for all network services, and should
be off.  Once you start making exceptions you cannot easily describe
the system, and you enter a slippery slope where the defaults change
over time depending on the security/identity-disclosure stance du
jour.
