The problem is that it's all totally subjective. For me the default is
just fine and it looks ugly with your style (and luckily I don't have
Ubuntu Monospace so that it is not as bad as it could be). The important
thing is that the default can be easily overridden while your proposed
change can be hardly overridden. One would either need to provide it's
own CSS style and force the browser to use it (which usually makes
things worse) or tell fontconfig to replace Ubuntu Monospace with
something different.

We haven't received any single complaint about this so I doubt all users
need to change anything.

I don't think it needs to be changed at all when underline decoration is
removed.

It's definitely better than before but I still think we should leave
more things at their defaults.
