Is this just a cleanup or are we actually going to need this feature in
the subsequent patches?  That would be nice to motivate in the commit
letter.

(I have a feeling that default label comes from making the compiler
happy about potentially uninitialized values once upon a time before a
lot of refactoring happened here.)

Could you fold this change into the commit as well:
