Personally I'd like for it to be the default, but I don't if everyone
agrees. If we make it the default, people who wanted a "global" install
would have to use `cabal install --user`.

"I *strongly* suggest everyone start transitioning from cabal-dev to cabal sandboxes."
Is there any reason that this is not just the default install mode for Cabal?
Anything that prevents the current cabal-swamp of broken dependencies is a great help. I have tried to use Haskell in some classes, but it is hard when students (and I) cannot install packages, and the only answer is the Microsoft-like; "delete everything and start over; reinstall". It certainly reduces their confidence that Haskell is a feasible working environment.
