I think given the number of self-confessed 'accidental DBAs' I have come across on here, the more safety nets, the better. That's not to imply they necessarily need them but not everyone jumps into SQL Server with much, or any, experience and not everyone only wears the DBA hat. I think it's more a case that the more SQL Server can do for you to save you having to spend a week fixing it again or having to explain to your boss why all the data is gone when really, you don't know too much about it anyway, is a really good thing and it should be encouraged, with the ability as stated in the editorial that it can be turned off or amended if need be
