I believe this user preferences default change was intentional. On smaller
MediaWiki installations (which is most of them), the new default behavior
typically makes a lot of sense, as I understand it. However, treating
rollback as the same as a manual edit probably needs further thought. And
sysadmins of larger wiki installations probably want to re-visit whether
the user preferences defaults are appropriate for their communities.
