I see the following problems with a default > 0: -It is the only change so far that we cannot express in the API, i.e. we cannot just deprecate a method to make Lucene's users aware of this. So we can only list it in CHANGES.txt, where some people will surely miss it. -There are words in German like Photokopie/Fotokopie which have the same meaning and a very similar spelling, so people will expect a FuzzyQuery to match such words. But as the difference is in the first two characters it won't be found with the default. -People whose index is just 1000 documents large will probably not notice a difference in speed, but they might see a difference in quality (see above). Why should these people change the default instead of those with a 10 mio document index?
