I'm reading the Darcs 2 manual, and I've just seen that

I hereby object. Lazy patch downloading is a stupid idea, it
completely breaks Darcs' largest advantage -- easy disconnected
operation. Lazy should not be the default, it ought to need to be
explicitly enabled by users who want the flexibility of CVS combined
with the speed of Monotone.

AFAICT, it is not the default: by default it says, as soon as it can,
"from now on you can hit Ctrl-C to get a lazy repo", but it grabs the
whole repo.
So maybe it's just the manual that needs an adjustment.
ciao, lele.

Moreover there is many ways to force the downloading of all patches:
$ darcs changes -i
$ darcs whatsnew does_not_exists
...
I think that the new default (with the message saying that you can Ctrl-C) is
a very good one.

So lazy is not the default and I have seen a patch on the mailing list to fix
the documentation. I'm closing the bug.
