 * “Like I said, the update services shouldn’t be removed. But I imagine new users
   would prefer that Ping-o-Matic or other pinging services weren’t switched on 
   by default since they’re still learning to use WordPress, and — I might add —
   are still evaluating it.”
 * I agree with this, as a new user (and someone new to blogging) who’s just been
   taken completely by surprise by the fact that WordPress isn’t just running my
   blog for me (fantastically well I have to say!) but has also taken it upon itself
   to start telling the world about it – well before I was ready for that, and without
   that being made at all clear to me. This to me is going beyond what the software
   ought to do by default. And even if it’s clear that more people want that there
   by default than don’t, it ought to be made clearer to the new user that that’s
   what’s going on – so we know to go and turn off the update service straight away
   if we don’t want it.
