Turn off ri and rdoc generation by default

It's shorthand for agreeing with the original idea. It saves space and allows a much quicker scanning of the comments to find people who have something unique to say.

If everyone wrote a short paragraph on their agreement with the original idea it would be very hard to find the comments where people were either dissenting or had something original to say.

Is this a flaw in github? It has this nice compact list of people at the top; there's no way to join it without spamming a comment?

I like launchpad's "This bug also affects me" link. Maybe github could implement something similar.

I'd say it's a sensible default that happens to be broken in this case. ;)
