I do not claim to know better in this case. In fact I have not encountered 
so far a single case where I would want to allow conflicts when I push. 
OTOH, I see no reason to deny this ability to those who indeed "know 
better" because they have a use case that is more difficult without it. 
After all it's their repository and they can't blame darcs for pushing 
conflicts into a remote repository because they chose to allow it 
explicitly.

As long as the default for push is --dont-allow-conflicts, I see no harm 
in such a move and it also doesn't make me nervous, because I know I 
won't change that default (at least not until I will discover a use case 
for it, in which case I should know exactly why I need it and what to 
expect from it).
