I thought I already did. I think both are good ideas,
I know for sure I'll be using Auto Perspective.

I don't often use many 3D views, so the second one
wouldn't be of much use to me, but I see how it can be
quite useful.

Actually, I think this option should be turned on by
default for new installations, it would be less
confusing for newbies I think and frankly, I don't
quite see when pivot mode local to each 3D view could
be useful but like I said, I don't use many 3d views
that often, so...
