I think we should acknowledge that it does because...
Changing the default on upgrades is good because the Fedora 33+ experience is
similar regardless whether the system is freshly installed or upgraded.
...changes in default behavior, when 1. technically reasonable and 2.
not explicitly overridden by the user, should generally be made on
upgrade. Distributions are supposed to be opinionated, and in cases
where the user has accepted our opinion, we should do our best to
provide it whether the system in question is an upgrade or a fresh
install.
What exactly does "change the default on upgrade" actually mean
here? Making nano-default-editor a dependency of something else
that people are likely to have installed? Or adding something to
some sort of post install script for system-upgrade that installs
that package?
If I accept our argument then how do I choose not to accept your
opinion and "explicitly override" this choice?
