I am not saying any discussion about the defaults is bad.

But these topics add flames from uninformed people we have to douse early
to the list traffic, and make it harder to find useful topics by degrading
S/N ratio.

In other words, it certainly harms a lot.

I just want people to think twice (or more) if the change you are going to
propose is worthwhile before imposing that cost to everybody.  A couple of
changes around "git push" scheduled for 1.7.0 are default changes, and it
was worthwhile to discuss about them, but I do not think this one deserves
the human bandwidth, especially we already had discussion on it recently
and we have a reasonable configuration mechanism for doing what you want
already.
