Except for links in info pages, which are clearly like HTML links, thus users probably expect them to be followed by a single click, I think making double click the default would be preferable, maybe with mouse-2 as an alternative for users used to the old way. I find the current default problematic in grep/compile buffers and Gnus Group and Summary windows, since I often use the mouse to switch windows, but clicking in those buffers (which are entirely made up of clickable text) does more than just position the cursor now. Equivalent windows to the compile window in other IDEs tend to use a double click.
