Comment:

 I'm in favour of enabling this by default and removing the option.

 In [attachment:5161.diff]:

 * Default the `use_balanceTags` option to enabled.
 * Hide the Balance Tags and Smilies options for new installs (because it's
 easier to do this and #32298 as one patch).

 Smilies will definitely be happening, but I'm open to feedback on balance
 tags before I commit this.
