Let me add my 0.02 kopeck:

* deleted functions produce much more readable error reports
* defaulted functions are noexcept and that matters for traits
(is_nothrow_constructible, is_trivial...)
* defaulted functions are simpler to optimize for compiler
* noncopyable class is widely used, optimizing and improving it will
improve all the Boost's and user's code.
