+1 on changing the default. This doesn't preclude UFS systems or reduce 
choice (we value choice).

+0 on tweaking it or setting exceptions if and where necessary, as long 
as it doesn't result in more than minimal fragmentation between 
versions/archs/install types: this is also a POLA issue. I don't oin its 
own consider "4gb systems" as necessary.

+1 RELNOTES, we value POLA.

More things in RELNOTES not less
