I think I understand what you're saying. I was under the impression that what we cared about was that `hg record -b` should continue working. Since there are no diffopts available on `hg commit -i`, you're thinking that this could be written as `hg commit -i --config commands.commit.interactive.ignorews=1`. While I'm sympathetic to that argument, it is so long and unwieldy that I think I'd recommend that users just do `hg --config extensions.record= record -b` (or, more likely, set `[extensions] record=` in their hgrc). I'll send the other patch series, we can discuss this on the relevant patches instead of keeping most of the discussion in a (somewhat unrelated) patch. I've sent https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5832-D5834 with the config option approach, and still have D5877-D5878 as the "only respect commandline args" approach.
