I think that includes all Lucene sub-projects (Solr, Tika, Mahout,
Nutch, Droids, etc).

As far as default settings, it seems like it can be mostly fixed with
documentation (i.e. recommended settings for maximum performance).
That seems like a very small burden for people writing new
applications with Lucene anyway (compare to the cost of writing the
whole application).  On the other hand, existing users may be
essentially "done" with the Lucene development in their project, and
want to upgrade for bug fixes, performance increases, and maybe to
incrementally add new features.
