It's still a significant change. Killing a buffer is not a minor
think, and restoring it is not always easy, or even possible (e.g.,
the file could have been deleted in the meantime).
My opinion is that if we install this, we need to provide some way of
getting the previous behavior back, for those who may want it.
Stefan and Andrea, WDYT?
