Zerolink as a default option

I'm certain that I have arrived late to this particular conversation
but I'd like to know if this insidiously dangerous "feature" is still
a default option. Putting in a feature that produces code that only
works correctly on the developers' machine as a default option seems
incredibly wreckless. Whether it is a good idea at all is another
discussion but making it default just seems like a bad joke.

This enables the nightmare situation of a developer saying "it works
right on my machine" and being actually the case. This does not seem
to depend on user login as I have several and they all are happy to
run code that has zerolink enabled. Besides venting I wanted to post
on this topic to reinforce the warning to developers who might be
insufficiently cautious. I haven't updated to version 1.5 of XCode
because of reports of problems specifically with debugging so I don't
know if this has already been rectified.
