I think exactly the opposite. People who build reliable configurations want
to avoid relying on default values as much as possible, because default
values can change without notice. Therefore, they need to be able to specify
explicitly any behaviour, even if it is currently the default.

I think we can "implicitly document" that the behaviour for contradictory
options is nasal demons.
