Re: Reconsider defaults for use-package-vc-prefer-newest

[Martin Edström]

Now that we're on Emacs 30.0.91, I feel the need to call this out as a fairly 
release-critical bug. Perhaps I should have emailed bug-gnu-emacs, but now 
that'd split the discussion over two places, so I'll keep it here.

If this is the kind of setting we can flip in a patch release, then there's no 
rush. Maybe someone can weigh in about that.

Otherwise it would remain as a source of instability for many years, and 
conscientious devs would have to insert a check for Emacs 30 that reminds the 
user that the package may be terribly outdated.

At least one other developer agrees the current setting is "fragile" 
(https://github.com/melpa/melpa/pull/9133#issuecomment-2351653325).
