At the bottom of  
[https://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences/](https://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences/)  
we observe “Powered by Discourse”.  
But that’s not the default for new installations.  
How about have the default for it to be “on”,  
and if some site feels bad about it, then they can turn it “off”.

Just like when we buy a box of powdered porridge, we feel more comfortable with food labels on the box, even in a country that doesn’t require them.
