One important aspect of this collection of settings is that we should be less committed to (eternal :) immutability as we are for normal defaults. As this is meant to be an help for new starters we should feel free to improve these from release to release without a negative impact on old new starters, as by definition they are not anymore new starters :) IOW If they stayed around for more than a release cycle quite certainly they have learned how to personalize Emacs themselves.
