Lots of things are done via options in vb, that still doesnt mean its a good idea to turn them off. As for should/must - vb will still work without CSRF protection, but it will be insecure, therefore "should" is the correct term. Setting them to false, as you posted, is even worse than not setting the option at all, since that disables the old style protection as well.
