I vaguely recall there were folks who didn't like the change of
default the last time you brought this topic up.  Convincing them is
not my job---it is yours.  Mine has been to help prepare the code
ready for public consumption when that happens.

That's a surprise to me; I don't remember anyone bringing that up,
ever.  Did I somehow miss it??  I'd be happy to talk to anyone and
hear their concerns if they do hold such an opinion.  Over the last
year or so both Stolee and Victoria have suggested such a change or
said they wondered why I didn't include such a change with other
sparse-checkout changes we were making, and I mentioned a few times I
thought it'd be a good future plan and finally submitted it.  To the
best of my memory, no one ever offered a counter opinion.

Are you perhaps mixing this up with the case where people brought up
concerns with suggested tab-completion changes?  That's the only other
related series recently where folks brought up concerns with suggested
changes.

So, I did a few searches through the list history for anyone that may
have commented on cone mode as default.  The only comments I can find
are Stolee, Victoria, Lessley, and I being in favor.

OK, so I misremembered.  Let's hope that the list subscriber base is
wide enough and those who will be affected are all in favor, and see
how the reception by those who are not on the list goes.

Hopefully some organizations may have a canary channel for their
users to try out something based on 'next', and we will hear from
them, either positive or negative, about their experience.
