I have never gotten mail saying "Wow, you have choosen perfect defaults!"
We only get feedback when someone thinks the defaults are wrong.

If this is a big problem, then we should form some sort of group (with
votes etc.) to select appropriate default values.

My experience is that people (especially users) would rather have
fresh objects from half-full caches than stale objects from full ones.
