So you are suggesting not only a change in the _default_ behavior but a change in the behavior altogether. Why is that the right approach? Don't you expect that there are some users or libraries that currently expect or depend on the current behavior? Just because someone thinks a change in behavior is a good idea (and I have no opinion on this one, so far), it doesn't follow that Emacs should make that change by default or (especially) as the only possible behavior.
