Re: [PATCH] checkout --track: make up a sensible branch name if '-b' was omitted

What does the user most likely want with this command?

Exactly.  A branch called 'next', that tracks origin's branch 'next'.

I like this.

An explicit --track request from the command line (as opposed to happening
to have "branch.autosetupmerge" configuration) is a very good cue that
what the user wants to do is not to take a peek on a detached HEAD but a
more permanent playpen created.
