I agree having a shared default would be good, in that it would reduce the
amount of libraries and system
devs need to be familiar with and increase general ability to maintain
code, at the same time imposing
it as "the one and only" would be too much of a limitation, so whatever we
go for should be pluggable
and easy to swap out for something different
