This is very concening for me.  Extensions should *never* be enabled by 
default!  When the TypedHoles discussion originally came up there was 
definitely talk of using a switch to enable them (in fact, IIRC, they 
weren't originally really quite an extension, just a compiler mode, but that 
may have been a misinterpretation on my part).

Having them on by default mean that valid Haskell2010 programs might get 
rejected by GHC by default, which is a pretty bad state of affairs.
