IMO that kind of choice could be deferred to the maintainer of each
individual package. Or make it a defcustom if you're really worried.
BTW, even choosing that patch where this user option is a defcustom
defaulting to nil would make more sense to me than the patch we
currently decided to install.

People don't call 'M-x package-install' automatically, nor do they put
those calls in their init files automatically. The only cases where
Eglot would be automatically updated, even with the proposed patch, is
when the user previously declared their intention to have Eglot updated
at least once, in some manual fashion (e.g. using 'package-install'
interactively).

No disagreement here.
