Why "should" they? Shouldn't users decide what users should do?

Let users discover the feature and choose the tradeoff they prefer.
Give Emacs Dev and users time to come to a more informed judgment.
That's been the approach for decades, and it's a wise one. What's
the hurry to replace?

Sounds like a BS imperative, to me. As if this new feature
were a must-have, and replacing the existing feature(s) were
a must-do-immediately (e.g. a security hole).
Better: "move forward" separately, with a library/feature that
people can choose to adopt. If it's a better mousetrap then
users will choose it - no problem. If you are confident in the
new feature, that's the way to show it.
