i care nothing about the name.  the title reflects my relation to EMACS development (outside of it).  the meaning is/was "as a user i want to reconsider this editor's default values".

the list is available here http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReconsiderDefaults and is (beginning to be) sorted by order of severity.  severity means "variables that the community considers incorrectly defaulted"
