Description

On Server->Clenup page the default for automatically unsubscribing students form courses is 120 days.
This default may override role assignment duration, which can be set up to 365 days.

Probably the optimal default setting for this setting would be "never"

Raising to Major and addressing to 1.9.5.

Note also that the setting name and description is really "outdated" (that "subscription", "student"... wording):

Unsubscribe users from courses after XXXX : If students haven't logged in for a very long time, then they are automatically unsubscribed from courses. This parameter specifies that time limit.

Plus the disaster it can cause defaulting to 120. Agree "never" is better default. +1

Please see the attached patches for language, as well as form default changes.
I am not quite sure how the database is set up at installation time (what files are used to create tables and insert the necessary rows,etc.). Maybe someone can explain? So, there may or may not be a few more changes on the installation files that set up the config table, etc.
