It's a nice feature, but I'm not a fan of defaults that cause network
activity. I rallied against the same for --use-server-on-error.
Default "ask" is not much better, as it makes us interactive and thus
burdens scripting use. So I'd prefer default-no.
We could brainstorm various ways for users to set their own default
preferences, but that's somewhat orthogonal.
