The new default was the default years ago. Then it was changed to the ISO format output. Since then I hated it. The ISO format is wasting to much space and is more difficult to read. I was told, that the ISO format was chosen to make it simplier to pipe the output to another program. Well, this is certainly true, but in most cases I don’t use a pipe. Luckily, --time-style=locale changed the format back to the good old ways.
It seems, upstream is now thinking again, that the localized output is the better one.
