My opinion was and remains that delete-selection-mode cannot be turned
on by default without also taking some additional measures. My
suggestions for one possible set of such measures drowned in the
irrelevant noise. If someone wants to implement some variant of my
suggestions, or come up with a different idea to the same effect, we
can then resume the discussion whether delete-selection-mode could be
enabled by default together with implementing these additional
measures.
The "no such decision was made" part wanted to tell that this
"discussion" was hardly conducive to any decision-making, and
consequently no decisions were made. Each one remains of their
previous opinions, for now.
