The scripts in base-files were introduced in 2012 after an explicit
request by Corinna:

https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/cygwin-developers/2012-01/msg00042.html

Whether any or all of this is still relevant needs to be checked before
we turn around and change the default again.

You can always change it locally by modifying the scripts so that the
defaults from base-files are not used anymore.  If you'd generally want
to do that I would recommend to create a local package that does all
these modifications to make it portable across all your systems and
re-installs.
