I think we should change the default value of ig to -1. Keeping the
default value is almost always the wrong thing to do, but it is not
obviously wrong, which makes it a dangerous default in my opinion. I
think that ig=-1 is almost always a better default for ig and never a
worse one.
The main issue with changing the default is going to be updating the
tests to specify an explicit seed where the current default is relied
upon for reproducibility. But that is easily worth fixing the default.
Does anybody have particularly strong objections to this?
Thanks,
Jason
