The NEWS entry explains that the user should redefine the function if he's not satisfied with the default. The default, by the way, is lowercase italics if display-supports-face-attributes-p says that the display supports it, uppercase normal (non-italics) otherwise. I'd suggest to leave the issue to rest and come back to it only if a problem is found. That sounds good to me.
