    I agree. If you look at EmacsWiki for example you can see that a good 
    number of users gets confused by the mode selection caused by that 
    magic-mode-alist overrides auto-mode-alist.

    I think that should be reversed before release. Didn't we discuss that 
    before?

I really don't like the idea of changing what magic-mode-alist does.
Especially now.

It would be safer to introduce another variable which checks the magic
number but gives precedence to auto-mode-alist.  Then we could
move specific elements to that new variable; we would not have to change
the meaning of _all_ of the elements.  That is safer.
