      The following blocks should be disabled by default in new installations. When upgrading the Moodle version, these blocks should be disabled too, unless they have any existing instance (in that case, they will stay enabled).

      The blocks to disable by default because they are super-specific or not as used as they were in the past are:

      • Course summary. It only displays the course summary.
      • Feedback. It's only useful when mod_feedback is created in the site course (so it would be better to ask admins using site feedbacks to enable it, instead of having it all the time in the list).
      • Remote RSS feeds. Nowadays, RSS is not as widely used as it was in the past.
      • Self completion. It makes sense only when "Self-completion" has been marked in the course completion settings. The current string "Note: The self completion block should be added to the course if manual self-completion is enabled" might be reviewed to add a reference to ask to enable it if it's disabled.
