well, no
that disables the electric stuff in its entirety - in c-mode, where i spend a lot of time, you lose the other magic keys (comma, semicolon, parens etc etc)
this is the best workaround i've found:
(global-set-key (kbd "RET") 'electric-newline-and-maybe-indent)

strikes me as a little arrogant. if by "users" you mean "people who have never used emacs before" then yes. but if you mean "people who have been using emacs for 24 years" then no, i NOT "expect that", get off my lawn!
i don't object to change per se, but i am ticked off there was no obvious documented "old behaviour" flag, and that i had to waste my time coming up with an acceptable workaround for this frivolous change.
