For the record: The change to the current default was my suggestion,
and I still stand by that advice.  I think the current default is
correct out of the box for more people than the previous nil value.
And I see no catastrophe in a mode hook that overrides the default for
those who don't like this default.  The defaults cannot possibly DTRT
for everyone, only for the majority.

Thanks.
