Experience from python-mode says: better keep electric-stuff and common indent apart.
Being aware new users might be attracted by these shiny and useful features, for Emacs beginners
a lot of surprises may result.
IMHO that's part of the "steep learning curve", Emacs is often blamed of - too much electric stuff for beginners.
Rather tell at README and Info what to activate once it works.
