I am generally not against the idea of using default quirks, iff they
are chosen wisely. The fewer users have to care, the better.

What I am missing, is a justification, why you think your proposed
set/combination of quirks is the most common one.
To me, combining all of them seems a bit odd.

Wouldn't it be a better approach, to analyze the existing hal database
and choose the default quirks based on this data?

Cheers,
Michael
