Leaving line-move-visual as nil would have been an easy decision to
satisfy old users who already like Emacs. But setting it to t (without
switching all the way to visual-line-mode) seemed like
a good compromise.
Given the reactions we've seen since Emacs-23.1 was released,
I don't regret the decision.
