When you say " I'll try to merge some of these settings into Django by making them the new default or the default for new projects created with the start project command", you mean you are a Django core developer and you plan to make them as part of the Django project?
If you are, YES PLEASE! :D I would love to have those settings as my default configuration, because the majority of my projects are tiny to small to between-small-and-medium size, therefore SQLite is more than enough for me.
