Since I posted my remark about Easy Access being the default, several people
have pointed out (publicly and privately) why making it default is a good
idea.  I have to concede that the reasons are largely valid. But my objection
stands: The current situation frequently results in behavior which isn't 
very user friendly.

Jeff's suggestion is the best I've seen so far. I would like to build on it.

If Easy Access were a cdev, it could default to inactive. I expect that anyone
who can use Easy Access usefully, could also access the Control Panel to turn
it on when needed. And as a cdev, it could potentially be made more flexible,
by permitting configuration to each individual's needs. I can see some
potential for something called Easier Access.

BTW: If anyone wishes to continue this discussion with me, please send mail.
I am losing my net access, but mail will be forwarded for a time.
