True, but the measures to remove the annoyance
are also simple. It's a matter of one attribute
of one face (since `mode-line-inactive' inherits
from `mode-line').
Dunno whether we should change the default
immediately - I don't see a crying need to do
that. But I'm going to try using it, myself.
Many users already use some library/package or
theme that provides a customized mode-line.
If they haven't already, perhaps some such will
use variable-pitch fonts. It many users start
using variable-pitch in the mode-line then it
would be especially reasonable to consider
switching the default to variable-pitch.
