Since we already have optional features to do that, why do we need to change the default? If you are arguing for making Icomplete the default, we can discuss that. But even if we decide to make it the default, there will be people who'd like the old behavior, and for them we should still offer the current behavior as an option they could use. > Is there a reason for not listing completions automatically?
