I think we are in agreement and that is all the more reason we have to be
extremely careful not to introduce incompatibility without a clear
advantage. The commands involved with your patch work with or without the
new default entry in the config created by the clone exactly the same way,
and the versions before your patch would choke with the new default entry.
