Re: On language-dependent defaults for character-folding

[John Wiegley]

Hi Eli,

I see you've kept a running tally of votes for the default nature of this
feature. Do you have a summary yet?

Given the sheer volume of concerned response, both for and against, my
inclination is to vote OFF by default, until we have more experience and
understanding. However, if the tally shows a distinct majority (at least 2/3)
wanting it on by default, I'll take that account.

We can always turn it back on in a later release -- and users can always
configure it at any time -- so this isn't a cliff we're driving off of. It's
more a question of how much use (and thus, feedback) the feature will receive
during 25.x if we turn it off by default.
