Hi all and Noel in particular,

I just noticed that AdaBoostClassifier uses max_depth=1 (decision
stumps) while AdaBoostRegressor has max_depth=3 by default (as
Gradient Boosting models).

Is there a motivation for the discrepancy between classification and
regression? If so I think it should be documented in the narrative doc
(and the docstrings).

Otherwise do you think it would make sense to have same default value
for the 2 models and if so, which value?
