There is another consequence from the commit de4f347901a. Is there a real need to duplicate the default value in read-file-name when the default value is already shown as initial input? For example, now after typing 'C-x 5 d' (dired-other-frame), the prompt becomes overly long with the duplicate long default value that now doesn't fit into the frame width: Dired in other frame (directory) [/very/long/path/with/lots/of/subdirectories/]: /very/long/path/with/lots/of/subdirectories/ Here the default value is in square brackets [...] because of my customized prompt " [%s]" for minibuffer-default-prompt-format. But with the default format " (default %s)" the prompt would be even longer.
