I've been wondering for a while why restrainOpenStrings is set to #f by
default.
Most of the times users expect not to have open strings when they set
minimumFret. IMO open strings should be restrained by default when
minimumFret is set.

I've skimmed through issue 2348 but I couldn't find any discussion on this
matter.
What do you think about it?
