No, I don't think this belongs in bitbake.conf.

If you use a nodistro setup you do get a reasonable default value for
this, you're right and it is in the default local.conf.sample. Its up
to distros and users to select the pieces they need/want beyond that.
Whilst Martin is close to nodistro it sounds like this config was
missing and I'd suggest using it.

Cheers,

Richard
