I still don't think it's a big deal. What I like to do is just use the default domain policy as the place where I set account policy, and nothing else. That way, I always know where to find account policy and its sequestered away in its own GPO. If it really becomes an issue, there are plenty of tools around for backing up, restoring or bringing back to default, the Default Domain and Default DC GPOs.
