Source packages appropriate by default?

When installing Ubuntu, I always see the source packages enabled by default.

For all the general users I install Ubuntu for (including servers),
it's an utter waste of bandwidth for everyone, particularly when
automatically checking once a day. This is amplified eg in schools
without transparent webcaches etc.

Anyone get the same feeling that we should have source packages an opt-in?
