Comment 8 for bug 80635

I'm not crazy about setting it when you press enter: it's at least as confusing to people when they're running a program as it is when they're typing a command. If we're going to disable it, I vote for disabling it completely (until the user explicitly enables it with stty, or by removing the appropriate line from their .bashrc). Hm.... however, Matthias' proposed behavior actually seems to be the current behavior of bash on Hardy Heron, so if that _is_ an agreeable solution, we could perhaps close this bug out.

As to writing a spec about it: I don't think that's really appropriate for this sort of solution. To turn off flow control by default for new users, simply adding the line "stty -ixoff -ixon" to /etc/skel/.bashrc would do the trick.

Discussion, however, does seem reasonable.
