That's a pipe dream.  My announcement back then was:

  Note that horizontal scrollbars are turned on by default on all builds
  that support them.  This is the only way I see to get them at least some
  initial coverage.  If you utterly dislike them (or do not use scrollbars
  at all) please use the idiom

  (when (fboundp 'horizontal-scroll-bar-mode)
    (horizontal-scroll-bar-mode -1))

  I intend to disable horizontal scrollbars by default in the next weeks.

What could I have done more?
