This is an oversight.  It is currently enabled in both the default
snort.conf provided in the official releases of Snort as well as the
VRT provided rulepacks.

An update to the VRT provided rulepacks will be released soon that
will correct this oversight.  The default snort.conf provided in the
official releases of Snort will be updated upon the next release of
Snort.
