Aligning defaults across distros does have value.
That said, a distro like Debian has a larger scope than say a desktop 
oriented one like Fedora.
Debian is used on a broad spectrum of systems: from embedded to server 
to cloud to desktop.
So I think it is valuable to gather feedback from all affected parties 
to make an informed decision.

What upstream is doing should not be the only driving factor.
