You are right. 
On the other hand, changing the defaults is sometime confusing
for users who just update their code and want to know why
results change. This is the main reason why it's not yet done.
We planed to change it at some point (with other defaults value 
that need to be changed), may be for release.2 ?

Thanks for your comment,

Cheers,
