I wrote earlier with positive feedback about character folding, but I didn't express an opinion about what the default should be. I'm now ready to cast my vote for having it on by default.
My reason is that I think many users are likely to find character folding useful, but they are unlikely to discover that it exists if it is not on by default. I have read the claims that character folding in its present form will be viewed as a bug by speakers of certain languages. But I think the possible benefits to others outweigh the possible harm done to those who initially think it's a bug.
