IPS Sidebars

Can the IPS team stop disabling the use of sidebars by default please? 

There are plenty of area's where I would like to place Widgets, but but I cannot unless I remove this by editing the code or by the use a hook. You are taking away my choice for no reason at all.

I also hate the fact that this ipsLayout_minimal plays havoc with my container (page) width.  Yes I know I can edit this with CSS, but it is just one more thing to add to a long list.

Thanks,
