Just my two unimportant cents, but I think that those are the type of settings (along with time zone) that the user should be prompted for either during the installation process or upon first-boot. That makes the default setting irrelevant, and provides less reason for a customized distro. Similarily, I suppose, language and text encoding settings might be offered during installation (possibly as one of the first steps).
Yep, I agree - BUT, we're not even to a point where installations are an option - and this is why everyone is up in arms! Right now "Distro" is being used to describe LiveCDs and Demo/Promo CDs and VMWare images... There has been very little distinction provided for these. First boot is every time on a LiveCD...
