Why is WebMock enabled by default?

It's easier to convince the team to adopt the tool if it can be
introduced and proven one step at a time.

Enabling, instead of disabling, WebMock by default is going to make
this very a hard sell.

Whether it´s a good decision or not, changing this behaviour would not be backward compatible,

so it can be changed in version 2.0, not earlier.

For now, I suggest including webmock in test group, if you use bundler.

You can always allow_net_connect in webmock.

Doing the following (and nothing else):

Gemfile:
group :test do
gem 'webmock'
end

test.rb:
require 'webmock/rspec'
include WebMock::API
WebMock.allow_net_connect!

Effectively turned off WebMock such that requests could be made,
however, it turned a 15 minute test suite into a 1 hour test suite,
and most tests failed due to server timeouts.

I'm definitely looking forward to WebMock 2.0 :)

As I do like the idea behind this!
