"Back office" event registration (civicrm/participant/add) the receipt is checked on by default.  What is the easiest way to turn this event registration email off by default, with action required to check it on?

I'm also interested in setting the default to off on 'Send Notification' when editing a participation status to 'cancelled' here: civicrm/contact/view/participant?reset=1&action=update

What is the thinking behind the receipt being checked on by default but 'add contribution' (civicrm/contribute/add) receipt not being checked by default? 

Is this a configurable setting or do I need to pull jQuery tricks or edit a tpl or something?

UPDATE: With no response I've assumed that this is not a configurable variable.  I found the switch in CRM/Event/Form/EventFees around line 112, but rather than maintain a custom code forever I made a Drupal module which:

1. sets the default email confirmation email to OFF for the backend
2. uses javascript to uncheck the 'send notification' email when a participant moves from Registered to Cancelled (or other negative status)

These don't lock the settings, it just turns the default to off.

I still question sending receipts true as the default setting and think it should be re-evaluated.
