I sure cannot speak for SC, but I thought what SC meant to say was that a commander set to defend should be assigned to any one of the unit's available tasks which are guaranteed to do no harm by the server when hosting instead of allowing commander to simply stand idle...
Yes, that's what I meant. Conceptually, if you have a mage / priest / necromancer in a province with no orders, they have to do something during that month. Will they sit around and pick their noses? A sage at a lab would almost certainly start reasearching on his own volition, and a priest would probably try to convert people. And adventuresome druid would wander around the woods looking for magical forest glades. But there's no special advantage - a unit can still only do a single action.

The only time this system could ever be a problem is when you are not actually playing the game for real - e.g., hosting a supercombattant tournament where you want to keep magic research below level X. Which is why a toggle would be nice. But in a real game, I can't imagine why a person would not like it.
