Again, this might have been a reasonable default in the beginning, but
at this point I am very reluctant to subtly change the networking
behavior of roscpp, given that there is no way to check if the user
needs to be warned about this change of behavior... it will break
things (as Eric points out, it could cause wireless links to saturate,
etc) without explanation.
