Implementing "Erase" as Get Default+Save seems a bit more difficult to me when a separate "Erase" button like now. Does not it require a new state for the option field in the customization buffer? Keeping it as it is now, but adding a clear question, is perhaps both more easy to implement and easy to understand?
