Yes, these changes should be clearly marked in NEWS, so those who don't want
them, can revert them.
Out of the box Emacs should be instantly usable for newcomers and older users
could adapt for the sake of Emacs. I wouldn't mind adding a line to my .emacs to
turn something off which I don't need, but which can make the life of new
users easier.
For example, CUA mode could be on by default. I would turn it off, but it could
make the life of new users easier if they didn't have to turn it on explicitly
and they could use their copy/paste keys from the start like they are used it to
in other tools.
