Even if you, as one user, think it is a great feature, why should
it suddenly be *on by default*.

*Seen some votes* means nothing. Not seeing "a lot more" dissenting
voices means nothing also.

People can experiment with new features without Emacs turning them
on by default. And that is generally what is done.

Right. But a user deciding whether s?he likes it or not is not
what this is about, is it? You are requesting that this be turned
for *all* users, by *default*.

It's not that big a feature => don't turn it on by default.
