I see no real reasons yet for such a decision. Character folding was
introduced with the explicit goal of giving users what the other
text-editing and word-processing environments provide, what they
therefore are expected to expect. To revert that decision will take
more than just "I think it's wrong" kind of posts.

No, because ignoring accents is just a small part of character
folding. Please take a look at character-fold.el for the details.

If they are annoyed by a feature, they will upgrade quickly, I think.
