Some defaults indeed change whenever the maintainers find the old
defaults to be contrary to expectations of many users. However, these
changes are rare; most defaults stay put for many releases.

How did you insert a blank line? What command did you use?

This is a feature: Emacs removes an empty line together with its
newline terminator. Use M-\ to remove the blanks alone.
