These days I think users expect mode specific behavior. In c-mode or
whatever then that type of electric behavior is rather expected. But
in the basic fundamental-mode that type of automatic indention really
gets in the way and is not expected. The fundamental-mode should be
simple and basic without all of the happy fluff.

I think you might be hinting at:
To just insert a newline, use M-x electric-indent-just-newline.
But no. That isn't a suggestion I like. Obviously I already know
that setting this will set things back the way I prefer:
(setq electric-indent-mode nil) ; new in 24, default is t, breaks RET/C-j
I am simply registering my aggravation with this being the new default
for fundamental-mode.
