ActiveRecord uses the default_scope in the new and create operation by default, but Mongoid does not. Is this intended, or should it behave the same way than ActiveRecord?

From ActiveRecord's documentation :

>The default_scope is also applied while creating/building a record. It is not applied while updating a record.

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  default_scope where(:published => true)
end
>
Article.new.published    # => true
Article.create.published # => true
