Ignore previous conventions AND common practice. :) Since OPTIONS are now fixed, you can make this work in any of the 4 possible combinations: 1. Always enable unless explicitly disabled 2. Enable only if explicitly enabled 3. Disable only if explicitly disabled 4. Always disable unless explicitly enabled Hopefully I can leave the corresponding .if() statements as an exercise for the readers? :) Personally I always use either 1 or 4, but I can imagine situations where 2 or 3 might be desirable. However if we're going to argue what the _default_ usage should be, I would argue that 1 and 4 (i.e., doing it the old way) should be the default since it doesn't leave any ambiguity at package creation time, but still lets the user have flexibility when compiling it locally.
