In this case it looks like LMB-Click-Drag can be border select and LMB-Click can be cursor set. (fine for pro's and new users IMHO).
But have to say I disagree with the rationale that blender should default to some new user friendly config (ei - dumbed down). Pro's/Advanced users still... * do tutorials (which will likely use defaults) * like to sit down on someone elses workstation and be productive without messing about with key-configs. * update blender without having to worry about conflicts in their key-config. of course anyone with really specialist workflow may want to modify their key config but dont think its reasonable to put advanced users at a disadvantage by giving them defaults which mainly focus teething pains for new users.
