default defaults sounds too wonderful to pass up.  Here's another look:

2)   Defaults.  We put a lot of thought into our defaults.  We like
     them.  If we didn't, we would have made something else be the
     default.  So keep your cotton-picking hands off our defaults.
     Don't touch.  Consider them mandatory.  "Mandatory defaults" has a
     nice ring to it.  Change them and your system crashes, tough.  See
     Figure 1.
