My guess is, probably not. :-) i certainly think it's a very 
reasonable preference! My own preference, however, is for /more/ 
things to be moved to GELPA, so that i have more control over what 
is installed in my Emacs.

Having said that, i've got the impression that there might be some 
sort of plan for each stable release of GNU Emacs to come in two 
flavours: one that doesn't come bundled with all the packages on 
GELPA, and one that does. There might in fact be no such plan, 
though; and in any event, i've no idea how much work would be 
involved in creating such flavours (particularly on systems like 
Win and OS X).
