bug#16155: 24.3.50; electric indent gripes

[Alan Mackenzie]

Stefan,

The thread up to here ran as follows:

>>> Again, the question: why should `newline' indent when we've got the specific
>>> command `newline-and-indent'?
>> Because apparently most users like it.  You don't, so turn it off in
>> your ~/.emacs.

> Stefan, please don't make the basic mistake: users (probably) like
> "pressing RET indents", not "newline command" indents.

Jarek's central point, which you cut in your reply to him, was this:

> If you have the data that most users like "newline command" to indent,
> please show it. It will cut all the discussions. I write it just in case
> you really meant what you wrote, which is unlikely.

Would you please now address this point.  Thanks!
