If someone does C-x b unnamed.c RET, chances are that he won't find it strange to see the buffer in C mode rather than fundamental mode. And the only buffers that are not file-related tend to start with *. You might be right, but the change seems too radical to me. I would rather introduce a new buffer-auto-mode-alist just to avoid the incompatible change.
