I know that, mostly because I'm one of the people who object.  What I'm
saying is that the status quo seems to have kept people reasonably happy
for a long time, so there isn't a reason to change it.  There will also
be people who object to the new default, and in 15 years there might
even be a proposal to change the default back to the init file, and
things will start becoming confusing then.

Indeed.

Thanks.
