Yeah well, that default is indeed going to be difficult given the
current behavior. But if you could live with the opposite default then
of course a fourth optional boolean switch could be introduced and
everything would be fine. (And the old-style negative input would have
to be translated internally.)
This thread is dangling. Should I open a ticket on the tracker for this
bandwidth default thing?
