I mean the entire point of having optional patches included is that people who want to play with them can. I don't see why it's any better for you if it's also required for everyone else.
I probably will enable it for my next game. I guess I'm just surprised that anyone considers a forced choice between productivity loss and tedious, every-turn micromanagement to be a feature rather than a bug, but I do agree that if there's any disagreement about a change, it should stay optional.
Out of curiosity, how do the AIs deal with micromanagement? Do they switch workers to farmers to minimize wasted production, and always set their Research to the minimum value needed to finish on a given turn? Hopefully they do, at least at Normal or higher difficulty.
