    No, we don't make random features default to being on."

This tracks well with me. I hate that everything suddenly changes on me even if I just sit there and use my software.

In case you're confused as to who Damon is and what he's doing in the Linux kernel, the story is about DAMON[1]:

DAMON is a Linux kernel subsystem that provides a framework for data access monitoring and the monitoring results based system operations.
