I love the new behaviour:

* It makes it much nicer to search through documents written in French when I'm 
not using a French keyboard.
* It also makes it easier to search through emails in which some accents have 
been omitted (probably for the same reason as above).
* It even makes it nicer to search for my own name: it's definitely wrong to 
spell it “Clement”, but many websites reject “Clément” due to the accent, so I 
end up with emails addressed to “Clement”.

I don't read Emacs' change logs carefully enough to hear about every new 
feature. Disabling features that I don't like doesn't bother me; on the other 
hand, discovering features to enable is much harder. So I'd vote for this being 
on by default.
