I think it's not completely a stupid idea to have profiling default off. I personally do not really enjoy the fact that I compile everything three times nowadays :)

Fair enough. However, having documentation off by default is just annoying...

My guess is that this is aimed at people who just want to use Haskell software (darcs, xmonad, etc.) and don't actually develop in Haskell. This saves some storage space and also compile times.

Mmm, I hadn't thought of that. Then again, if you just want some tool, why not just grab a prebuilt binary? Oh, wait - it's Unix...
