It's interesting to see you respond to that call, indicating that you now use
transient-mark-mode, albeit without delete-selection-mode. Good to hear there
has been some progress. What made you switch to t-m-mode?
But you did *not* give any examples or explanation of why t-m-mode without
d-s-mode is a better default than d-s-mode. Not in any mails I received from
you, you didn't. Please point to one such example and explanation.
Did you mean this, perhaps:

Again, that's just a rehash of an argument why we should *not* even have
t-m-mode as the default. Please don't try to start that off-topic battle again.
The question is, "What makes t-m-mode without d-s-mode a better default than
d-s-mode?" Show me where you give an example or argument for that.
