I think most people, when being reasonable, are only looking for a fix for
single, timeslot and weekslot rules. Fuzzy time matching in those scenarios is
also unlikely to do any harm, even when enabled by default which is what I
would suggest.
Although I appreciate the power of custom rules, I think they will always
remain something for the power user and even with some clever presets
accessible through the schedule editor which is a great idea, it's not the
'one touch' record ideal we should be aiming for. It's certainly not something
that I'd expect to have a high WAF or pass the granny test.
That's why I think the fuzzy time matching for single and timeslot recordings
needs to be enabled by default, without the addition of more settings, or
options to the schedule editor.
