Nothing major -- just wanting to avoid a false sense of
agility along with the irrational feeling that the slight
increase in bandwidth will be relevant in these days of
spam and torrents.

If I know that I can't rely on something to work with me,
I like to keep around reminders that I can't trust it.
Given the assumption that I can't trust TTL to do my
bidding, I see no reason to reduce it to a significant
degree.

Of course I invite better-justified comment by those with
stronger justification on either side of the issue.
