For me "making it the default behaviour" would mean "changing the default value of the $flags argument to JSON_PRESERVE_FACTIONAL_PART". The flag would still function in exactly the same way - old code which pass flags explicitly would continue to work in the same way, and any code which did not want the new behaviour would only have to pass 0 to flags to get that behaviour back.
