My gut tells > me that changing an option's default -- when the new value doesn't > represent an addition or removal of features -- isn't worth it. My rule is: if there's a doubt, then there's no doubt, and the change should be in NEWS. The reason is simple: there are no downsides to putting unimportant stuff there, but users do get annoyed by changes that aren't called out there. So, a net win. Thanks.
