I'm usually not an advocate to changing default behaviour -this truly has the potential to break a lot of scripts. Especially since on most systems, the majority of scripts has not been written locally, but imported from various sources.
I do agree though, that an easy way to group the output of df to something lending itself to easier (i.e. at a glance) human interpretation would be an improvement. There are several approaches I could imagine, one of them would be to add an /etc/default/df in a similar way as suggested by Richard L. Hamilton, allowing the definition of "aliases" for groupings of filesystemtypes or filesystems that can be used with -F. Implementing this kind of behaviour in a script is quite trivial though, especially if the script calls "df -aV", and selects from that output which filesystems should be displayed.
