Morgen? Are there other reasons aside from the behavioral ones
described below that make you want to get rid of default accounts?
I think we had a conversation with bkirsch about this a few weeks
ago, and of course now I'm not remembering the specifics anymore. I
feel like Mail was depending on default accounts for something and it
would take extra work
I'm not sure that the Chandler Server scenario Aparna brought up is
all that common, both because we expect most Desktop users to be
signing up for Chandler Hub accounts and because publishing shares is
not something people do regularly.
So unless removing default-ness saves us time on other bugs, I'd
propose that we leave the behavior as it is.

Aparna probably has the best example so far: re: "default-ness".
Anyone not using Hub can't set up a working default sharing account.
The whole notion of "default" sharing account is horribly broken,
and just getting in the way. I don't think it's working to have
such a default, yet no way to set it, and no way to delete one. I
propose that I remove all notion of a default sharing account from
the accounts dialog and elsewhere. If we want we can add it back
later, but do it completely and correctly.
