Ah, yes, I feel your pain now, most directly. I find myself in this same
circumstance quite often.
Personally, I think the answer is to offer a new mode targeted at "intelligent
replacements" -- beginning life in ELPA -- rather than making changes to our
current machinery. That way we can test out how it works before considering
upsetting a very old apple cart.
For example, swiper.el is a fantastic replacement to i-search in many ways,
providing not only excellent visuals, but also a nicer way to navigate hits.
However, changing the centuries-old behavior of C-s is not to be done lightly;
nor is there really any reason to, since users can always bind C-s to `swiper'
as they see fit.
