What do people think of the idea of enabling this variable by default?
To me it is entirely in the spirit of default settings being safer; if
people want to shoot themselves in the foot, they can do it, but they have
to specifically request such shooting :)

Is there a setting that will "warn about the outdated .elc, and then load the
more-current .el", so you realize you have an issue? You're a lot more likely
to re-byte-compile the offender if you actually know it's an offender....
Or does the proposed setting do that?

It depends on how you define "warn". This setting causes a message to be
issued of the form
Loading foo.el ... (foo.elc is out-of-date)
But it doesn't use the `warn' mechanism, which would cause the *Warnings*
buffer to be displayed,
With a more obvious warning appearing.

OK.. That's sufficient in my book - it's not silent about it..

the *Warnings*

Sounds like if somebody is ambitious enough to submit a patch, which I'm not.. ;)

I never understood the wisdom of current default but was too occupied
to bring it up.
