xfsprogs-2.4.2 (25 March 2003)
        - Added the xfs_io(8) command, an xfs_db(8) alike command
          for testing and debugging the XFS file IO path.
        - Added an optional dependency on the GNU readline library
          which is "off" by default and enabled with the configure
          option --enable-readline=yes; it affects the interactive
          tools only (xfs_db and now xfs_io).

looks like it was done that way originally and never changed, commit
e246ba5f93896ac873d25f65c05496e6e2c69e34 I think.

Fine by me to make the default yes if it's there ...
