LOL :)
As for my "vote", yes kill the annoying blinker by default, please.
Upgrading to F10 caused quite some rude language down here due to the
cursor blink setting moving to System -> Preferences -> Hardware ->
Keyboard. I wouldn't mind if I dont to need to ever again hunt and guess
the new "intuitive" place when the setting gets moved the next time.
