That change is not equivalent unless default.config.nil? to start  
with. I'd want to know that such "fast code cleaning" wasn't going to  
inadvertently break something. Is there even a test that guarantees  
this change doesn't break something?

I think that having to open a ticket is exactly the right hurdle for  
the general developer population. With a sufficient history, one might  
be offered commit rights that removes this hurdle, but until then I  
think that the Rails core team should stand firm on tickets for patches.
