While I have some sympathy for that train of thought (there's nothing as
enraging as a trusted tool suddenly doing something unexpected), that
means that all new users have to suffer forever with an old-timey
behaviour, even though the new behaviour might make a lot more sense for
new users.

After all, experienced Emacs users know (or should know) that they can
twiddle some variables to get any old behaviour back.
