+1.  I'd even suggest that that be the default,
arguing that it's more helpful - for new users
especially.

Martin added that variable in 2007 (Emacs 23).
(See the old bug with subject "q doesn't always
quit *Help*".)

It was normal for its default value not to change
the longstanding behavior.  But maybe it's time
to consider changing its default value?  If you
think so, maybe the question should be raised in
emacs-devel?
