I think you were right and I was wrong on that part, lets default =n.
What is new here is thermal I/F to hwmon. Distros what want it will know they need libsensors 2.10.7 or libsensors 3.x before they turn it on.
libsensors <= 2.10.6 users who upgrade their kernel to 2.6.26 without distro support will get no bad surprises.
The down-side is simply that we are being less aggressive about exposing these temperature readings via hwmon. I'm not going to lose any sleep over that.
