It's possible. One should always review all configuration files before making their node operational. You can't assume that it will be configured in a particular manner.

I mean, who would have thought the TBB would ship with JavaScript enabled... ;)

I convinced a friend to run a Tor relay (he was happy to do so) but he claims he just upgraded and that this line:

ExitPolicy reject *:* # no exits allowed

Is that true? I could've sworn 0.2.4.x shipped with that as the *default* exit policy - as it should, given the potentially catastrophic legal consequences in some countries for those setting up a relay who unwittingly set up an exit relay rather than a middle node.
