Why not enable "decommissioning" in spark?

Erik
Valued Contributor II

You can enable "decommissioning" in spark, which causes it to remove work from a worker when it gets a notification from the cloud that the instance goes away (e.g. SPOT instances). This is dissabled by default, but it seems like such a no-brainer to activate.

So: Why is it not enabled by default in databricks, and is there any downside to enabling it?
