Simply saying "let's make it opt-in" closes the door on the discussion 
of the subsequent change of the default, which is often what reporters 
care about in discussions like this.

But if we say "let's make it opt-in then discuss the change later", that 
has a higher chance of making both sides happier. And helps us gather 
feedback backed by some usage experience.
