should have similar settings). Beyond that, just document how to adjust
them. Don't try to out-smart or second-guess environments.
Sure, it should be easy to change, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't also
look at defaults. Again, particularly on desktops where having years of logs
probably more of a problem than a benefit.
