I totally agree with Liangent. Having gadgets disabled by default will
move a larger number of scripts to Common.js, leading to a whole new
class of problems.

MediaWiki:Common.js can also create disagreement and
defaults change
without notice.
Actually what I did sometimes is to move code from MediaWiki:Common.js to
default gadgets, so it can be disabled per user (for example, some users
are using a too slow computer or network), and at the same time, this makes
maintenance easier for developers, because gadgets can be made modularized,
instead of using a big JavaScript and CSS file (Common.js/css).

Gadgets being turned on for all site users (including readers) can cause a
confusing users experience, especially when there is some disagreement and
defaults change without notice (readers are rarely if ever part of these
discussions)
Move to model where gadgets are per user rather than part of a default
experience for users
