Note that the question is `should it be the _default_?'.
What this really means `Is this what novice users (those who haven't
learned to customize emacs yet) want, and will it not annoy _too_ many
experienced users?'. It's OK [imho] to annoy _some_ experienced users by
changing a default, because they're perfectly capable of turning it off --
indeed, in some sense, experienced emacs users are exactly the _wrong_
people to ask, so a normal poll might actually do more harm than good.
