Yes. I argue that the base case should be no fence. Making fences is work. Trying to guess what height fence everyone can be happy with is a useless exercise. Less code. More simplicity. More maintainable. Let the concensous forks come and let people build whatever height fence they want.

making fences is work, and so is removing them.

removing them requires no additional supplies, and leaves the supplies there in case you would like to rebuild the fence.

if there is no fence to begin with, you’ve removed the supplies for those who want to build theirs.

why not have the default fence be the highest possible to leave the OPTION for those who want to remove them, but also make sure everyone has their own fencing supplies? and because there WILL be some who want to build a fence, the presence of the supplies is most important.

Why not make it the lowest possible? Do you see how this is the part that is opinion oriented?

the part that isn’t opinion is, if people want a fence, they have to go out and figure out how to get all the stuff it takes to build them.

no such restriction exists for people who want to take their fence down.

people should have options by default.
