Isn't it more efficient if 1 upstream picks the sane defaults rather than N distros? The situation was exactly the same when PulseAudio was introduced in Ubuntu. Audio broke for a huge amount of users and according to upstream it was because they had configured it wrongly...

IMO, it is part and parcel of designing great software that you pick as universally agreeable defaults as possible.
