I'd assume that it's not enabled in any binary unless otherwise specified.

Since flexresp is in general not reliable, but for some reason many people 
seem to think it's a firewall replacement, it's probably a bad idea to 
build it into pre-made binary images anyway.. This way someone at least has 
to try to use flexresp, and might read up enough to understand it's 
limitations in the process. (it's a useful tool, but thinking it's a 
firewall replacement is a dangerous thing).

Of course, just adding a few hoops into the process won't really protect 
people from shooting themselves in the foot, so I'd readily concede that 
measure doesn't do much.
