There are at least two problems. First, there is compatibility with Matlab,

It is true that Matlab currently uses 0.5 fro the default. But, they
will likely need to do
something when their users notice that their axes are "missing."
And, I agree that the Manual needs improvement. I have done some work
on it,
but far from enough.
If the default is not changed it would be very useful if something could
be done
to avoid users struggling with this. There are users right now who
believe, as I
did, that the problem is entirely due to FC18 (this, of course, is sort
of true since
X11 (or whatever is deciding that the 0.5 width is sometimes invisible)
was changed for FC18). But, the chance that FC18 will be changed back is,
I think not very big. In the meantime; trouble. I would suggest at
least announcing
this problem in the NEWS for the next release, and include the fix to be
put in .octaverc
for users who need it.
I will check on what this does to PDF output.
