From my POV, it _is_ a good argument.  Especially when the defaults
change in a feature that is easily customizable, and so basically you
are asking to impose your preferences, which are easily catered to by
your local customizations, on everyone else.

> Emacs changes the defaults like that ALL THE TIME.

That's not true.  We do that rarely and sparingly, precisely for the
reasons you consider unimportant.

> If they piss me off, I just patch back in the old behaviour and forget about it.

You can do the same with the current defaults, so why are you asking
us to change them?
