This file still lives in /etc/gitignore.suggested, and users can copy it from there into their own repositories if desired. But now they won't have to wonder why some files mysteriously aren't being tracked by Git.
Users can still get this by copying our /etc/gitattributes.suggested file into their repository or creating their own .gitattributes file. But now they won't have to wonder why a whole bunch of line endings are marked as changed after cloning a repository that was created without normalization.

Users can still opt-in to these behaviors on a per-repository basis (and GitHub for Windows will encourage them to do so). But setting them as a default for all existing repositories is just too confusing.
