Basically, yes. A lot of users including me can cope with only
selectively enabling Javascript, but I would strongly argue against
making that the default. It is just too hard to understand for 'casual

I personally can live with 'losing some of my anonymity' due to the
custom use of Javascript, but you must be well aware indeed.
