Brendan - there is a lot of "tribal knowledge" that has been passed around those features over the years; generally speaking, our guidance now is that it is benificial to have those features turned on.

We are working with support internally too, to help guide away from disabling the features in cases where there is no reason to do so anymore. The linked article really does represent the latest thoughts around it all.
