Not sure what you are saying, but the question posed is changing
the default pager.  So that means:

   o all users who like the current more(1) behavior have to define
     and override PAGER.

   o all users who like the less(1) behavior remove their override
     of PAGER

Or leave things alone, and users who want less(1) behavior
override PAGER, which they've probably already done if it's
that annoying to them.

The answer seems pretty simple to me.
