I agree completely. I wrap or not as the situation warrants. I rely on the 'extends' character to tell me that text is off-screen. I also use 'showbreak' to show me that text has wrapped rather than being on an actual separate line. I don't want the clutter of the other 'listchars' in most cases. I think this change is a bad idea altogether, but if someone doesn't like having 'extends' on all the time, give them an option to turn it off, or give the rest of us an option to restore the previous behavior.
