FWIW, I agree with both Eli and those who want the regression fixed.
1. Each place such a prompting function is used, we should pick
the right function. If `yes-or-no-p' is not right for a given
occurrence, and `y-or-n-p' is right, then let's fix that.
2. User preferences vary. Some users never want to respond to
a `yes-or-no-p' prompt. That's their choice. It should be easy
for them to express their choice and have Emacs respect it.
(I do not recommend that a user replace all `yes-or-no-p' behavior
by `y-or-n-p' behavior. But that's up to the user.)
