There must be a better way to achieve this than modifying the
`mode-line' face. We could probably set the face separately for
individual parts of `mode-line-format'.
Many external packages depend on a fixed pitch `mode-line' face. It
would be good to not change this default.

Also, please don't change the header line as well. For instance, the
header line in calc that reads "---- Emacs Calculator Mode ----" is now
totally broken.
There are also packages that override mode-line-format entirely, such as
2C, and they now look bad.

This wording is shocking! Does it mean that we will proceed with this
default if even one person likes it?

I don't think we should make master a place for treating users as guinea
pigs, especially when the change cannot be easily reverted (how do I get
rid of the new `min-width' properties in mode-line-format).

This should be posted to info-gnu-emacs. Not everyone who uses Emacs
follows Emacs development, and any kind of vote posted only to
emacs-devel is likely going to come out skewed.
Thanks.
