I think my feeling is more that the default shouldn't be changed.  It
would confuse and upset our users.

I also have an interest in CC Mode's electric indentation remaining
enabled by default (as it has been, literally, for decades), and since CC
Mode's EI has become entangled with Emacs's e-i-m, I can foresee pain.

If you were just an Emacs user, and a feature was enabled by default at
24.3, then disabled at 25.1, then re-enabled at 25.2, what would you
think?
