    It would not have been an improvement if global-font-lock-mode would
    have been made the default before this had been tackled satisfactorily.
    Having the font-lock proponents actually work hard on making the code
    acceptable to those who don't crave font-lock-mode that much but need
    tolerable performance for large cases: this has been very important and
    contributed to the quality of Emacs code.

Well said.
