But we have also 'snapshot' feature, which like 'patches' is not simply on/off but is configurable feature, like 'patches' adds new action and does modify existing actions only by adding extra links... and which is enabled by default.
If my "git log" is telling the true story, "snapshot" was introduced in cb9c6e5 (gitweb: Support for snapshot, 2006-08-17) and it was disabled by default. The "feature" mechanism was introduced after that, with ddb8d90 (gitweb: Make blame and snapshot a feature., 2006-08-20). To avoid surprises, "blame" were marked disabled by default to match the then-current default. "snapshot" somehow ended up enabled with that change, though, which might have been a mistake. But "we erred before" is not a good excuse to deliberately err again, is it?
