Considering how much bandwidth has been devoted to that
subject,  would it be difficult to make it a 'config file' entry
that defaults to RELAY if you didn't put anything in there ?

Problem is, Xastir gets used world-wide, and there's no indication
yet that anyone except U.S. and Canada are switching.  It'll be a
while before those two countries are fully switched over.  Better to
leave RELAY in there for a while.
