A configuration option may be fine if you are the only user, but it
doesn't work well for the case of a multiuser system where several
users may be sharing the same Vim binary or for the case of a
pre-built Vim binary packaged for a Linux distribution or made
available as is Vim without Cream for Windows.

I have no valid opinion on the line-number issue as I tried
'relativenumber' once and it drove me nuts--too distracting as I
moved the cursor.
