Description
_From @lucaswoj on January 27, 2016 22:56_
I've seen more than one user be confused about why their overlapping symbols are not showing up on the map by default. https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/2005
We should change the default value for `icon-allow-overlap` and `text-allow-overlap` to true.
It'd be an breaking change but mitigated by the migration script.
