And there's a significant advantage to having it included and 'on':
ubiquity.  An  org user doesn't have to have set anything up to load up
Eric's babel-ized version of the emacs starter kit and start playing with it
in babel.  [http://github.com/eschulte/emacs-starter-kit]

It's the same advantage that org-mode gains by being part of Emacs.  We can
say:  "Want to try org-mode?  just do 'M-x org-mode'  Now make some
headlines with CTRL-RET and...."  Org babel is good, useful and stable
enough that it deserves the same boost.

Having said that, I'm all for Carsten's new code execution key binding.  Org
advertises C-c C-c as a friendly key which mostly 'does the right thing' on
the current block.  I could imagine that unwary newish users might not
realize that in this case 'the right thing' is to execute that code.
Paranoia does seem a good default practice in this case.
