My Opinion:
I have most of these set in my global zshrc, but one I don't support as a
default option is NO_HUP. If people know enough to want it, fine - but for
the average user I don't believe it should be automatically enabled.
If people exit/hang up, their programs should get a HUP signal. That's
the whole point of the system. If they want to keep things around, they
should use disown (like me) or set NO_HUP themselves.
