I made a few changes. I think it is important to also say that we will 
be removing support for the default values in a subsequent release.

I think "deprecate" is probably better, even though this isn't an API, 
because I think it is a better way to tell the user that it is not good 
to rely on the default values anymore. "Obsoleted" is probably ok too, 
but I don't hear it used much so it doesn't have the same meaning to me.
