They're presumingly pdfTeX users. With LuaTeX and XeTeX, and that's  
probably the target of UTF-8 based hyphenation files, the users  
probably type what they want to see. And I've actually forgotten how  
to write typographic quotes the complicated way.

Which side effect(s) has making the ASCII quotes be typographic quotes?

With Capitalism man exploits man. With communism it's the exact  
opposite.
