When there's opposition to this type of change, even if the majority support the change, usually we don't do it since the benefit of the doubt goes to the current default. We would need a strong majority to support the change and incur the cost of changing the default, and if I remember correctly I don't think a strong majority support the change.
If there's still strong opposition, we don't have to do it, obviously.
But let's see. I think I was one of the strongly opposed back in the day.
