No consensus could be reached, therefore no change.
LyX already departs from LaTeX defaults by changing the font encoding
from OT1 to T1. (See the line
\usepackage[T1]{inputenc}
in the latex source's header.) With the LaTeX default OT1, you would get
vector fonts by default, but also "faked" accented Latin letters (like
öäü).
BTW: installing the CM-Super fonts would give you the CM-Super vector
font version of CM also with T1 font encoding automatically.

Lmodern is supported by the GUI already in 1.6.
I recommend activating this in your default template file(s).
People never requiring accented Latin letters could also configure the
font encoding setting in the preferences.
