OK, but I'm not sure that achieves much. The argument is that the current behaviour is counter-intuitive. If the default setting is to preserve existing behaviour, then the default will still be counter-intuitive. There is a work-around now, that uses multiple filesets. What you're suggesting is another work-around, which is fine, but it won't solve the problem that people who are unfamiliar with the workings of file/patternsets will be confused by the default behaviour.
