Enchant does seem to be the more modern solution, so it might make sense
to have Emacs give it priority. On the other hand, changing the
priority will mean that older users will suddenly start using Enchant
instead of ispell (or whatever), and changes like that are always
painful.
So I don't think it's worth it -- at this point, at least. If, at some
point Enchant becomes the vastly preferred value, then we can
reevaluate, but my feeling is that that's not currently the case. So
I'm closing this bug report.
