Hipchat should have stuck gone the opposite, and made their policy explicitly: "1-to-1 is private".
Mimic the real workplace, I have a 1-1 meeting with someone, it isn't recorded (usually).
It's annoying, because it puts up barriers to communication, people talk differently when they know they are being recorded.
I hope they implement this as an option (like they do room history).
EDIT: Thinking more, it should be an option, and when enabled/disabled, all users should receive an email explaining the change. (If you are reading bitbucket devs, do it! Please!)
