If you get support before rc1 for changing the default, we can consider it. Note that from what I understand, this is a different topic than the one that was voted on [1], which focused on possible conversion options, not on the default of the setting. As for the potential patch to RELEASE-NOTES, do I understand correctly that the reason that the text we currently have is incorrect is because in some cases (e.g. the document uses non-TeX fonts) the change is not "needed"? If this is the motivation for the changed text, then I propose to just change "you must manually unselect" to "you might need to manually unselect" and to then refer to the "Dashes and line breaks" chapter.
