I think this discussion turns to be a bit too general.

Let's go back to the original question: "Should Transient Mark mode be
turned on by default?"  

Is your claim that the (old) behavior prevents beginners from using
Emacs?  And that the learning curve for clicking on the Active Region
Highlighting menu option is _that_ high?

For sure we can discuss the general policy for this kind of changes.
And by doing this we certainly will reach a form of consensus, but I
doubt agreeing on abstract policies is really useful for the decision 
at stake here.
