 Follow suit and turn off OXTABS by default
 
 FreeBSD did that in 1994:
 
 r3505 | wollman | 1994-10-10 20:16:28 -0400 (Mon, 10 Oct 1994) | 5 lines
     Turn off OXTABS by default.  Inspection of systems here finds no commercial
     systems with it on by default (or the equivalent flag) and terminal control
     sequences confuse it greatly.  (Try running `ls' under bash in an XTerm,
     for instance.)
 
 OpenBSD did that in 2019:
 
 date: 2019/03/12 11:01:25;  author: nicm;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2;
 commitid: XOmQAZHjspUKWzDx;
     Almost all terminals now support hardware tabs so default to OXTABS off.
 
     This makes three changes: adds the ht capability to the standard lines
     in gettytab(5); removes OXTABS from TTYDEF_OFLAG in ttydefaults.h (the
     defaults used by pty(4) - diff from martijn); and only sets OXTABS on
     terminals which lack hts and tbc in tset(1) (from Thomas Dickey
     upstream).
 
     Addresses problems reported by tedu.
