I think we are far too close to beta1 to begin bikeshedding this. Changing the defaults is not going to be uncontroversial, and it's not something I think we should rush into.
I think that may be a case of the good old letting perfection get in the way of progress. We can be pretty sure that whatever we decide to do (now or later) will not be perfect. But we can be equally sure that it will be better than what we have today in most cases. But that's just me...
