I quite don't get it. They say the same thing. At that point the
user needs to choose between merge and rebase to move forward and
ff-only would not be a sensible choice to offer the user.

I'd view the "in a non-fast-forward situation, the warning kicks in
to those who haven't chosen between merge and rebase (i.e. no
pull.rebase set to either true or false, and pull.ff not set to
only), which is a bit more gentle than the current situtation" a
good stopping point. That state is already making ff-only the
default for unconfigured users, or you can view it as shipping "git
pull" in a shape that has the more dangerous half of its feature
disabled to avoid hurting users. So I am not sure why you keep
saying you do not have --ff-only as the default.
