This has no impact on non-developer end-users.

For "developer" end-users, this has a huge impact.  You are forcing each 
and every developer who wants to profile their code to modify their 
/etc/src.conf and then 'make buildworld' solely because Max can't be 
bothered to add one line to his own /etc/src.conf.

Developers who profile their code makes up a greater proportion of our 
userbase than 'Max', so sensible defaults for them are more appropriate, 
right?
