Comment(by hamish):

 my 2c: leave it off by default and better adverstize/use the -m flag to
 fully qualify them if it is needed by some auto-script.

 I use common map names between diff't mapsets and have never had the need
 for such a thing personally, but who knows what other power scripters do.
 I always use mapset=. for cases where I need to be sure that I'm pulling
 from just the current MAPSET. You are protected from large chaos by the
 only-allowed to write (ie remove or overwrite) local maps restriction.

 there are valid arguments on both sides, but to me the added clutter makes
 subtle errors harder to spot by eye, which is in my personal opinion more
 critical than seeing the louder 'this map is available in multiple
 mapsets' warning.
