It makes little since to me to have features (that one would normally presume the user would find online and choose to install on their own) hidden and disabled but installed by default. We should determine the best default feature set and leave it up to the user to expand their feature set.

Agree a good selection of tools should be enabled by default, at the
moment we dont enable any addons by default but I expect we will do so
before a stable release.
Some scripts, povray integration for example should be made into an
addon IMHO (currently its always loaded).

Are you saying that we should not include addons which are not enabled
by default?
