safe plugins

For some reason the default setting of a fresh 3.2.1 installation (WinXP) doesn't have the "Databases" plugins checked by default, nor "CentOS Local Security Checks".  Are these disabled because they are unsafe on production machines?

Related to this, "Denial of Service" plugins are checked (enabled) by default, even though the installation guide advises against these checks on production machines.
